Louis Latour Les Pierres Dorées 2022 is a Burgundy red wine that stands out for its great freshness and its distinguished concentration of floral aromas, red berries and gentle spices. Richness, freshness and surprising aromatic complexity are the qualities of the pinot noir behind this red wine, which comes from a distinctive ochre-coloured terroir, created by limestone soils with the presence of iron oxide. This magnificent single-varietal wine takes its name from those ‘golden stones’, a red wine from Maison Louis Latour that pairs perfectly with a roasted rack of lamb or bluefin tuna tartare.

General Information

The parcels selected to make Louis Latour Les Pierres Dorées 2022 are located in Morancé and Theizé, on two vineyard islands between 280 and 400 metres above sea level, on clay-limestone soils with the presence of iron oxide; the moderate continental climate provides a very favourable period of sunshine, although with relatively cool temperatures. The wine comes from vines with an average age of 7 years and is made exclusively from Pinot Noir, through careful viticulture in an environment of remarkable freshness and good sun exposure.

Fermentation is carried out traditionally in open vats, followed by ageing for 10 to 12 months in stainless-steel vats and French oak casks from the Louis Latour cooperage, with a medium toast. This work seeks to preserve the fruit, enhance the texture and maintain the wine's natural tension, while retaining a balance between richness, freshness and complexity.

In Louis Latour Les Pierres Dorées the signature of Maison Louis Latour can be recognised, a Burgundy house that has taken its expertise beyond the Côte d'Or to develop this project in the heart of Beaujolais. The winery links this wine to its own style through the use of its own cooperage, parcel selection and a philosophy focused on expressing the character of the terroir with precision, without losing the elegance and freshness that distinguish its wines.

Thanks to its generous character and freshness, Louis Latour Les Pierres Dorées 2022 goes very well with roast lamb ribs, crispy lamb carré and quail with grapes, as well as with more delicate dishes such as bluefin tuna tartare or sea bass. Its broad and crisp profile naturally accompanies goat's cheeses and, in a more original pairing, a red fruit soup. It is a versatile wine, capable of adapting to both flavoursome dishes and more refined preparations.

The winery

Maison Louis Latour

Since its origin in the year 1797, Maison Louis Latour has always been linked to Burgundy. The exceptional domaine of the French firm spans 50 hectares, including the largest collection of Grand Cru vineyards in Bourgogne.

The winery's vineyards extend from the red Grand Cru of Chambertin and Romanée-Saint-Vivant, in the Côte de Nuits, to the white Grand Cru of Corton-Charlemagne and Chevalier-Montrachet, in the Côte de Beaune. Thus, the family vineyard is composed of some of the best appellations, offering wines of superlative quality in every vintage.

Authenticity is a hallmark of the house, which also prides itself on remaining an independent company with a purely family tradition. This philosophy has made it one of the most emblematic wineries in the Burgundy region.

Respect for the terroir is one of the main values of Maison Louis Latour. The house has been practicing sustainable agriculture for several decades. For them, “the terroir is the main element when it comes to crafting a great wine.”

Both the estate wines and those from associated winegrowers are clearly defined by their origin and are vinified and aged with utmost care, always respecting the tradition and elegance of the French firm.

The Louis Latour style is a blend of nature's richness and the skill of human craftsmanship.

Christophe Deola has been the winemaker in charge of Domaine Louis Latour since 2017. Passionate and meticulous, he has a clear objective: the pursuit of excellence to produce wines of great finesse and elegance.

The red wines of Louis Latour are distinguished by their delicacy, elegance, and character. The fermentations are very short but intense, allowing for an ideal extraction of fruit and tannins while avoiding excess. The result is intensely flavored reds with a good alcohol balance, providing them with a special aging potential.

The whites, on the other hand, are full-bodied, complex, and balanced. The goal is to highlight the potential of the chardonnay grape to reveal its origin. They retain a certain acidity.
