"Maison Louis Latour, merchant-breeder of white and red wines in Burgundy, France, was created in 1797. It makes a point of remaining independent and family-run. Each generation has worked to preserve this heritage with a visionary and ambitious spirit. Maison Louis Latour represents the largest Grands Crus property in Côte-d'Or.
  
Chambertin is located at the heart of the constellation of Grands Crus of the Côte de Nuits. The Chambertin terroir is legendary for its exceptional richness due to a geological phenomenon called the “dejection cone”. This highly complex terroir is marked by brown limestone soils.
  
At the end of the 19th century the Latour family acquired 0.81 hectares in the Chambertin Grand Cru appellation, constituting a superb plot in one piece, from top to bottom of the hillside, closer to Latricières than to Clos de Bèze.
  
This Chambertin took the name “Cuvée Héritiers Latour”, and the plot was then passed on as an inheritance to the descendants of the Latour family.
