With a dedicated and expert team of wine professionals in Beaune, the heart of the Burgundy region, they are furthering Maison Louis Latour’s remarkable heritage and visionary spirit and promoting the fine wines of Bourgogne.

Fells’ longstanding commitment to independent producers of premium wines, combined with their market expertise, makes them the ideal partner for Louis Latour as we look to further our presence in the UK” commented Florent Latour, President of Maison Louis Latour.
