Located in the Aloxe-Corton commune in Burgundy’s Côte-d’Or one will find Louis Latour, a historic winery established in 1797 by third-generation winegrower Jean Latour. Over the centuries, the Latour family has retained ownership of the winery and gradually expanded its vineyard holdings in some of the most prized Burgundian villages. Today, the winery owns approximately 120 acres of vineyards, roughly 67 of which are Grand Cru, making Louis Latour the largest holder of Grand Cru plots in all of Burgundy.
