Maison Louis Latour once again exports its Burgundian know-how outside of the Côte d'Or. After the great successes of Ardèche and Var, we have decided to repeat the experience in the heart of Beaujolais with the planting of 25 hectares of Pinot Noir. The calcareous soil rich in iron oxide gives a very particular ochre color, and the high altitude contribute to produce a surprising wine which associates richness and freshness with a beautiful aromatic complexity.
This region offers beautiful argilo-calcareous soils, the plots selected by Maison Louis Latour form two islands and are situated on the villages of Morancé and Theizé. With a continental moderate climate, vineyards benefit from an ideal period of sunshine but the temperatures are relatively fresh due to an elevation between 280 and 400 meters.
Louis Latour Description
Our Pinot Noir "Les Pierres Dorées" 2022 has a dark color with garnet reflections. Its nose reveals notes of black cherry, mocha, nutmeg and licorice. Its generous mouth, with aromas of licorice, reveals nice tannins and a lot of freshness.
James Suckling: 90 Points
This pinot noir, from a high-altitude limestone terroir in the south of the Beaujolais region, has an eye-popping freshness. Juicy and crisp with plenty of crunchy sour cherry fruit plus a touch of licorice. Restrained tannins, but they are quite dry. These vineyards were planted from 2012 and now total 20 hectares. Drink from release.
