Louis Latour Grand Ardeche Chardonnay 2023

Louis Latour Grand Ardèche Chardonnay 2023 is a sophisticated white wine that demonstrates the Maison's ability to apply traditional Burgundian winemaking techniques to the sun-drenched terroir of the Ardèche. This wine is treated exactly like a premier cru from the Côte d’Or: the grapes are harvested at peak maturity, fermented in oak barrels, and aged for approximately ten months in toasted French oak. On the nose, it offers an inviting bouquet of ripe yellow apple, honey, and vanilla, accented by subtle toasted notes. The palate is rich and buttery yet balanced by a refreshing acidity, showcasing flavours of tropical fruit, almond, and a touch of spice. This 2023 vintage maintains a beautiful harmony between the ripeness of the southern fruit and the elegant structure provided by the oak maturation.
