Louis Latour Agencies

Heather Dougherty, Surrey Advertiser, 30 August 2013, Take time to taste the wine that you drink

Maison Louis Latour is a name more usually associated with Burgundy, but here they have turned their skillful hands to getting the very best from Chardonnay grown in the more lowly region of the Ardeche. Eight to 10 months ageing in aok barrels has given this a subtle toasty note on the nose, as well as a nice mealy savouriness on the palate.

Will Lyons, The Wall Street Journal, 23 August 2013, Drinking now

A real find for those who love the rich buttery style of Chardonnay found in the Burgundian village of Meursault but prefer not to pay their prices. This ripe, creamy wine is made to the west of the Rhône valley in the Ardèche.

Ned Halley, Western Morning News, 20 July 2013

...The Ardèche is a region little known for wine production, bordering the southern Rhône Valley, and a long way southwest of Burgundy. But this wine has a lot of regional class. It comes in a grand and heavy bottle, has an alluring green-gold colour, a nutty-rich aroma. and all the ripe, apple-peach plumpness you'd hope for in a classic chardonnay. It's aged in the same sort of oak casks Latour use for their lavish Burgundies, and it's really rather a bargain.

Terry Kirby, The Independent on Sunday, 22nd December 2013, Wines of the week

From west of the Rhone, but a top-notch Burgundy in all but name and price. Complex, with typical ripe, buttery, toasty-fruit flavour, and just the right tinge of crisp apple acidity. Perfect with fish or shellfish and easily full-bodied enough for roast chicken or pork.
