Vineyard
Pommard is, for many, the most familiar Burgundian appellation. The village is located 4km south of Beaune and the appellation area is relatively large and covers 300 hectares. This vintage comes from vines aged on average 30 years, located on clay-limestone soil. Pommard wines are significantly different from those of neighboring villages. They tend to be deeper and more concentrated than Beaune or Volnay wines and have sumptuous aromas and supple tannins. A merchant-breeder since 1797, the House remains independent and family-run today, with Louis-Fabrice Latour at its head, representing the 11th generation.

Winemaking
The harvest is manual. Malolactic fermentation takes place in open vats. Aging lasts 10 to 12 months in oak barrels from the Louis Latour cooperage, 15% of which are new.

Tasting
Beautiful brilliant color with garnet reflections. It reveals notes of undergrowth and cherry on the nose. The palate is round with aromas of black fruits and roasting. There is a nice tannic finish.
