About this Item
Maison Louis Latour was created in 1797 and has remained in the family since, with the 7th Louis Latour (11th generation) overseeing the maison today. Louis Latour owns the largest holdings of Grand Cru vineyards in Burgundy some of which are the best vineyards in the region. It was at the beginning of the 20th century that Louis Latour started expanding their reputation internationally. In 1998 Louis Latour became part of the Farre farms circuit thereby committing to sustainable viticulture.
Producer Notes: Pouilly-Fuissé is one of the most popular as well as most prestigious wines from southern Burgundy. This fine 2012, with its pale yellow colour and emerald highlights is naturally unctuous due to the low yields of the vintage; there are beautiful white fruit aromas that mix very-well with fine almond notes. There are also Muscat-like aromatics that can be smelt and which linger in the mouth. A wine to be savoured whilst young with lovely minerality and focused finish.

Critics Ratings
‘This tight wine is full of acidity and green fruits. It is very textured, densely packed with minerality and structure. These elements suggest a wine that needs to age, so don't drink before 2016.’ – Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast (Sep 2014)
