2021 Maison Louis Latour Montrachet Grand Cru

Description

The 2021 vintage in Burgundy was notoriously difficult, characterized by devastating spring frosts and a cool, wet summer. These conditions resulted in extremely low yields—often down by 70–80%—but the fruit that remained was of exceptional quality. For Louis Latour, which owns a significant 0.84-hectare plot in the heart of the Montrachet vineyard, the 2021 is a return to a more "classical," high-acid, and mineral-driven style.
