Tasting notes
Our Montagny 2014 shows a bright pale yellow colour. The nose is gourmet and reveals notes of hazelnut and exotic fruits, such as mango. The mouth is round and offers white fruits aromas and a delicate chlorophyll note on the finish. A plaisant and aromatic wine.
Description
The appellation of Montagny lies approximately 30 kilometres 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. Louis Latour selects only those
wines from grapes with a high natural sugar content which constitutes the most reliable
indicator of maturity, and therefore quality. Once purchased, the wine is nurtured by the
cellarmen at Maison Louis Latour who carefully rack the young Montagny off its lees in the
days before bottling. This, as for every Latour wine, contributes the guarantee of typicality and
quality of Latour Montagny.
