About Louis Latour Monthélie Burgundy
Produced by Maison Louis Latour, one of Burgundy’s most venerable domaines, the Monthélie appellation sits just south of Volnay. The vineyards benefit from limestone-rich soils, which impart mineral complexity and elegance to the Pinot Noir grapes.
Tasting Notes
On the nose, expect vibrant aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, and subtle underbrush. The palate is medium-bodied, with silky tannins and flavors of red currant, plum, and a hint of spice. The finish is long and refined, showcasing the wine’s freshness and depth.

- Roasted duck breast with cherry sauce
