Product notes

Aloxe-Corton is the home village of the Latour family, who have been closely involved in the affairs of the commune for over three centuries. Domaine Louis Latour controls over 90% of the total hectarage of this Premier Cru, centred on the famous Château and cuverie of CortonGrancey. These vines are an important part of Domaine Louis Latour. The name "Les Chaillots" refers to the stony, pebbly nature of the soil in this vineyard, as "caillou" means pebble in French. There is an alliance in the wines of Aloxe-Corton between the finesse of a Côte de Beaune and the mellow, powerful appeal of the Côte de Nuits.
