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.
Food Pairing
This Monthélie Burgundy pairs beautifully with:
- Roasted duck breast with cherry sauce
- Lamb chops with rosemary and garlic
- Mushroom risotto
- Soft French cheeses like Brie or Camembert
Winemaking & Vineyard
Grapes are hand-harvested and gently sorted before fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. Aging takes place partly in oak barrels, lending subtle spicy notes and creamy texture without overpowering the wine’s pure fruit character.
