Understanding Louis Latour, Vosne-Romanee Premier Cru, Les Beaux Monts, Burgundy
The domaine cultivates its Beaumonts Pinot Noir through sustainable viticultural methods on enriching iron-clay soils. The aspect is east-facing, ensuring gradual yet full ripening of fruit for balanced and finessed wines. Fruit is carefully harvested by hand in a highly-selective process that ensures only the finest grapes see vinification. In the winery, this esteemed Burgundy undergoes alcoholic fermentation in traditional open oak vats followed by complete malolactic fermentation for a creamy, soft mouthfeel. It is aged in 40% new, medium-toasted oak barrels from the Louis Latour in-house cooperage for ten to 12 months to allow components to expand for greater complexity.
