Louis Latour Chardonnay Côte D'Or – Bourgogne – White – 2018:

 

Maison Louis Latour Bourgogne Chardonnay Côte d’Or: A Refined White Burgundy

The Bourgogne Chardonnay Côte d’Or Blanc from Maison Louis Latour is a testament to the quality achieved within Burgundy’s newest regional appellation (created in 2017). This premium designation ensures all Chardonnay grapes are sourced solely from the famed Côte d’Or-the ‘Golden Slope’-guaranteeing a wine of structure, elegance, and distinct minerality that surpasses a standard regional Burgundy.
