Description
Chevalier-Montrachet sits higher up the same hillside as the Montrachet appellation. In 1913 Domaine Louis LATOUR purchased this 0,51 hectare vineyard from the widow of Léonce Bocquet, who initiated renovations of a part of the Clos Vougeot Château. This vineyard carries the name "Les Demoiselles" in hommage to the daughters of an early 19th century Beaune General, Adèle and Julie Voillot, who were the owners of the vineyard and who died without
marrying.
Tasting notes
Our Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru << Les Demoiselles >> 2013 reveals a pale gold color and a complex nose between vanilla, brioche bread and almond paste notes. The generous mouth has a beautiful fullness with yellow fruits, mango and peppery notes. Freshness and elegancy on the finish.
