Tasting notes
Louis Latour Beaune Blanc 2014 has a bright pale yellow colour, the nose offers white peach and vanilla notes. In mouth, the wine is ample and presents aromas of almond and brioche, with a pleasant and mineral finish.
Description
From the gently sloping hillside overlooking the ancient walled town of Beaune comes this classic white Burgundy from Maison Louis Latour. White Beaune accounts for only 5% of the total production from this appellation. The soil in this region is made up of chalk and limestone which suits the Chardonnay well.
