After the ravages of the phylloxera epidemic at the end of the 19th century the Latour family took the then, unusual decision to tear up the dead Aligoté and Pinot Noir vines, and replace them with Chardonnay. This decision lead them to create one of Burgundy's most celebrated white whites. Today the Latour family owns 10.5 hectares which makes them the biggest owner in the appellation. The Latour's Corton-Charlemagne vineyards are located on a prime section of the Corton hillside where the south-easterly aspect ensures maximum exposure to the sun. The fruit is harvested as late as possible to guarantee maximum ripeness.

Wine tasting
Tasting Note
Our Corton-Charlemagne is a brilliant pale yellow, with an intense, complex nose of toasted almonds and hints of vanilla. Full-bodied and generous on the palate, with notes of fresh almonds and toasted coffee. Very good length.
Purchased tequila ocho puntas. Received it ina decent amount of time and was very well packaged. Very satisfied and will order more products in the future. Thanks a lot!
Every order has been shipped with care and very fast. The prices are very reasonable and a wide range of options. I would definitely recommend as I have found myself a new online store.
