Breadth of Burgundy

Breadth of Burgundy

There are plenty of producers in Burgundy who produce great wines from tiny parcels of vines on hallowed plots in Premier and Grand Cru vineyards. There are few who can claim to craft outstanding wines at every tier of Burgundy and across the full spectrum of price.

Maison Louis Latour is unquestionably one of those few.

The calibre of their Grand and Premier Cru Burgundies is beyond question. Indeed they are the largest landowners of Grand Cru vineyard in the region, and their offerings from the finest vineyards of the Côte d’Or are benchmarks for those appellations, with the scores and reviews to prove it.

But they are just as skilled at producing superb wines from sites and vineyards that don’t boast Premier or Grand Cru status.

Their Macon-Lugny is broadly acknowledged as one of the best value for quality wines made by anyone in Burgundy: a modern-day wine icon that is rightly one of the best-selling Burgundies in the UK. Their Marsannays and Hautes Côte de Beaune are similarly regarded as offering incredible value for the calibre in the bottle.

Their portfolio is a reminder that, for all the talk of increasing prices in Burgundy, there remain exceptional wines to be found at all price tiers – if you go to the right producers.
