From its birthplace at the foot of the hill of Corton, Maison Louis Latour has over two centuries of Burgundian history. Founded in 1797, the house has become a natural custodian of an ancient tradition. Authentic to its roots, it has always been a point of honor to remain independent and family-owned. It is now run by the seventh Louis Latour, who represents the eleventh generation since his founding ancestor. Each generation has worked to preserve this unique heritage, while ensuring the future with a visionary and ambitious spirit.
With patience and determination through the centuries, their domaine of fifty hectares has been carefully established and the famous logo of Louis Latour graces several million bottles shipped worldwide each year. The family vineyard is made up of exceptional appellations, and every year offers wines known for their formidable quality. Their domaine wines are deeply marked by their terroirs. They are carefully vinified and aged to create with elegance and finesse, the traditional style of the house. Their customers expect the best, and through their daily quest for perfection they aim to satisfy them.
