Lot presentation

Echezeaux Grand Cru Louis Latour 1997

The wine

Fermented in open vats following the traditional method, then matured in 100% new-oak barrels for between 10 and 12 months, this Echezeaux is deep, ruby red in colour. Its nose is bursting with notes of black cherry and spices (liquorice and cinnamon). To taste, these cherry and liquorice notes are all the more marked. The finish is long and fresh. Dishes of lamb or beef rib will be perfect to accompany this bottle.

About the Producer Louis Latour

A family business since its creation in 1797, Louis Latour is one of the most recognised traders/ famers in Burgundy. It has remained a family enterprise for over two centuries and is thus part of the closed circle of the Henokiens. It is now Florent Latour, representative of the 11th generation who is at its head since the disappearance of his brother Louis Fabrice. The Louis Latour house gradually formed a vast domaine, extending from Chambertin to Chevalier-Montrachet: 48 hectares, 28 in grand crus. It cultivates Pinot Noir for its reds and Chardonnay for its whites. Over the last thirty years, the company has also spread in the Ardèche, in the Var and in the Pierres Dorées region, also producing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The Maison is committed to a more ecologically friendly and respectful terroir by adopting responsible and sustainable agriculture (limitation of pesticides, compost and ploughing of certain parcels).
