Louis Latour

Maison Louis Latour is a historic winery and negociant based in the Burgundy region of France. Founded in 1797, the family-run house operates out of the historic Latour estate in Aloxe-Corton. They are one of the most prominent and recognizable wine producers in the entire Burgundy region.

Louis Latour is particularly renowned for its high-quality Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines. They hold extensive, exclusive holdings of Grand Cru vineyards in Burgundy, which produce some of the world's most sought-after vintages. They are also famous for producing the Ardèche Chardonnay, a highly successful wine made outside of Burgundy.

The Latour family has been involved in viticulture since the 17th century, but the house was officially founded in 1797 by Louis Latour. Since then, the company has passed down through seven generations of the family. They have maintained their independence and reputation for quality for over two centuries.

Besides growing grapes on their own Grand Cru vineyards, Louis Latour operates as a negociant, meaning they purchase grapes or wine from other growers to blend, age, and sell under their label. This business model allows them to offer a much wider range of Burgundy wines than their own land could produce. It is a very common and essential practice within the French wine industry.
