Louis Latour Chassagne Montrachet 2025

Chassagne-Montrachet is characterised by a Chardonnay with a little more body and warmth, without losing the mineral tension of the Côte de Beaune. Louis Latour's 2025 "Village' comes from vines around 30 years old, growing on limestone- and clay-rich soils, and is harvested by hand. Fermentation takes place traditionally in wooden vats, after which the wine matures for eight to ten months in French oak, with 15 per cent new oak. Stylistically, the wine is characterised by a combination of yellow fruit, delicate almond notes and a supple texture, complemented by fresh, slightly herbaceous accents. On the palate, the wine should appear round and generous, whilst remaining clearly defined and finishing with a mineral edge and good length.
