Louis Latour Description

The fermentation is traditional in stainless steel vats, temperature controlled with complete malolactic fermentation, and then aged aged 8 to 10 months in stainless steel vats.

Of a bright pale-yellow color, our Montagny 1er Cru La Grande Roche displays a floral nose with a hint of sweet bun. This wine is ample and round on the mouth with exotic and white fruits aromas with a touch of vanilla. Very fresh with a slightly salty finish.

The appellation of Montagny lies approximately 30 kilometres (about 19 miles) to the south of Beaune in the rolling folds and hills of the southern part of the Côte Chalonnaise. Montagny is a 100% white wine appellation originating solely from Chardonnay grapes and giving a fresh white wine that is an uncomplicated representation of its parent grape variety. The high quality of the vines is a direct consequence of their limestone bedrock and admirably oriented slopes. The vineyard of « La Grande Roche » is quite high up on the hillsides, catching plenty of sunshine which aids the great concentration of flavours in the grapes.

James Suckling: 93 Points

This combines the creamy-oily side of white Burgundy with succulent candied pineapple and lychee fruit plus touches of almonds and smoke. The interplay of the ripeness and vitality is delightful and impressive. Long, quite compact finish with excellent mineral freshness. Drink or hold. Stuart Pigott.

Wine Spectator: 89 Points

Whiffs of the seashore and oyster shell mingle with peach and melon notes in this ripe white. Open and fluid, with a moderately long, spice-tinged finish. Drink now. 4,500 cases made, 3,000 cases imported. Bruce Sanderson, 4/22/2024.
