Technical Details
Description
Maison Louis Latour, in keeping with its traditional preoccupation with quality, purchases grapes from competent growers with holdings in the most esteemed vineyards in the Mâcon-Villages zone. The wine is bottled during the following Spring at the 'Clos Chameroy' in the outskirts of Beaune. In this way Mâcon-Villages "Chameroy" represents the epitome of classical white Burgundy reflecting the fusion between the noble Chardonnay grape and the calciferous terrain of the area. It possesses a fresh, creamy bouquet which prepares the palate for the suave, billowing aftertaste.

Tasting notes
Our Macon-Villages "Chameroy" 2016 reveals an intense nose with floral notes of fresh honeysuckle. The mouth is round and enjoyable, offering a bouquet of white fruits and muscat notes. A very pleasant wine with a fresh finish.
