Description
In a nutshell:
A ripe, buttery and subtly oaked Chardonnay from a famous Burgundian producer.
The lowdown:
Louis Latour's reputation for top notch white Burgundy is unsurpassed, unfortunately sometimes the prices they fetch fully reflect this. However since the 1980s they've been making excellent Chardonnay in the Burgundian style from their vineyards not too far away in the Ardèche where the climate is perfect for ripening but the real estate prices somewhat more modest. Their Grand Ardèche Chardonnay is made in the same way as their Cöte d'Or wines being aged for around ten months in oak barrels to give that characteristic Burgundian style. On the nose fresh almond and vanilla notes mingle with crisp apple and citrus while the palate has ripe apricots and a touch of brioche richess.
The Producer:
Louis Latour, one of the biggest names in Burgundy, has been around since 1797, starting out in Beaune. While justly famous for their top-notch Grand Crus theyve played a big role in the Burgundian wine trade over the years. Still run by the same family, with the 11th generation now in charge, they offer something at all levels. Their Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru might be the star, but youll find the same quality in their more affordable regional wines. A dependable name on the label whatever the price level.
When to drink:
Nicely full bodied it's a good match to roast chicken, or pasta dishes in a creamy sauce.
