Intro to Louis Latour Savigny les Beaune –

Louis Latour Savigny les Beaune from Burgundy France. This Savigny has an appealing blackcurrant & strawberry bouquet and a rounded fruity palate with overtones of light vanilla oak.

Full tasting note and wine making –

Lying just up the hillside from the escarpment of Beaune, the vine-growing areas of Savigny-lès-Beaune fall into two areas. The first is in the south adjacent to Beaune and the other is in the north bordering on the appellation of Aloxe-Corton. The wines of Savigny are very like those of Beaune, with a remarkable blackcurrant and strawberry bouquet. Fermentation is in open vats with 18 months ageing in oak barrels.
Beaune is the wine capital of the region and has played a significant role in the history of Burgundy. Les Vignes Franches is one of the best Premier Cru vineyards of the town, producing a wine that is persuasively elegant and graceful with a fragrant floral nose and yet well capable of ageing to perfection for a considerable period of time. This wine comes from Louis Latour’s own domaine.

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.
