Intro to Louis Latour Pouilly Fuisse Burgundy –
Louis Latour Pouilly Fuisse Burgundy is a stylish, elegant white Burgundy with a delicious flinty overtone and a delicious lingering taste.
Full tasting note and wine making –
Louis Latour Pouilly Fuisse Burgundy has an intense and floral nose that reveals notes of honey and acacia. The mouth is ample with freshness and white flower aromas. It has a good minerality on the finish. Fermentation is in stainless steel tanks followed by malolactic fermentation and 10 months aging also in tanks.
Pouilly-Fuissé is the name of a village in the Mâconnais producing highly distinctive Chardonnay wine. The vineyards producing this wine are part of a breath-taking landscape where the limestone and heavy clay soils combine to create a unique ‘terroir’. Pouilly-Fuissé is one of the most popular as well as most prestigious wines from southern Burgundy.
The producer –
The Latour family have long been established in Burgundy’s wine trade. They began as vine growers in the village of Aloxe-Corton as early as 1768 and went on to establish today’s business, Maison Louis Latour, in 1797. Today they are one of the region’s most famous names creating wines from their own 50 hectare domaine in the Côte d’Or and from grapes and wines purchased through the negociant arm of the business.
The company has been in family ownership for 11 generations and is now led by the 7th Louis Latour. He is ably supported by Chief winemaker Jean Charles Thomas, and Denis Fetzmann and Boris Champy who run the Domaine.
Back in the 19th Century barrels were not only used as they are today, to age and ferment wine, but they were also the only way in which to ship wine. Bottles were usually too fragile and their weight increased transportation costs excessively. Barrel making has been a time honoured tradition at Maison Louis Latour for more than half a century. It continues today with over 2000 barrels being made each year, half of which are exported to other wineries worldwide. The oak originates from the Alliers and Vosges forests of Northern France and ages outside for 30 months before being used to make a barrel. Barrels are made by craftsmen with staves being placed together and carefully shaped, by hand, info a barrel form before being toasted over an open fire. Chestnut hoops are traditionally placed around the barrel to protect it.
