Description

Louis Latour Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2022 comes from Burgundy (Bourgogne) in eastern France, one of the world’s most celebrated regions for Pinot Noir. The region’s limestone-rich soils and cool continental climate create ideal conditions for wines that combine aromatic precision, freshness, and elegant structure.

This wine is made entirely from Pinot Noir, Burgundy’s iconic red grape. Grapes are sourced from carefully selected vineyards across the Bourgogne appellation, allowing the wine to capture the classic regional style - vibrant fruit, refined texture, and bright natural acidity.

Produced by Maison Louis Latour, a historic family-owned Burgundy house with roots dating back to 1797, the wine reflects centuries of Burgundian winemaking tradition. Careful fermentation and maturation preserve the grape’s delicate character while adding subtle depth and balance.

Style

A dry, light- to medium-bodied red that focuses on elegance and finesse rather than power. It has a smooth, silky feel with gentle tannins and lively acidity, making it refreshing and easy to drink.

The style sits firmly in the classic Burgundy tradition — refined, aromatic, and balanced. It offers more subtlety than heavier reds, allowing the purity of Pinot Noir to shine through without excessive oak or concentration.

In simple terms: a graceful and approachable Pinot Noir that delivers freshness, softness, and classic Burgundian character.
