Louis Latour Le Chardonnay de Chardonnay 2024 Burgundy - Mâconnais, France
For a wine that takes its name directly from both the village and the grape variety, Louis Latour Le Chardonnay de Chardonnay 2024 is remarkably precise in its origin. The grapes come exclusively from Chardonnay, the famous village in the Mâconnais that is historically strongly associated with the grape. Why is this wine called Le Chardonnay de Chardonnay? Because it comes entirely from the village of Chardonnay, and is thus very emphatically built on origin and a sense of place.
Vineyards and region
Here, everything revolves around a small origin that says more than a broad Burgundy designation alone.
- Location / Origin: The wine comes from the village of Chardonnay in the Mâconnais, in the south of Burgundy. This gives this cuvée a much more precise basis than a general white Burgundy.
- Soil: The soils consist of clay and limestone. This is a classic combination for Chardonnay, providing both roundness and a fresh, crisp backbone.
- Vineyard: The average age of the vines is 30 years and the yield is 50 hl/ha. This gives the wine sufficient concentration without losing its lively style.
- Regional context: The Mâconnais forms the southern part of Burgundy and is known for Chardonnay with more direct charm, ripe fruit, and accessible breadth. Louis Latour explicitly positions this wine as a harmonious white Burgundy with a strong sense of origin.
Vinification and aging
The cellar approach here remains deliberately precise, so that fruit and origin remain fully in focus.
- Harvest & Selection: The harvest is done by machine. This is suitable for a wine primarily built on pure fruit and precise processing.
- Fermentation: Fermentation traditionally takes place in stainless steel tanks, with temperature control and complete malolactic conversion. This gives the wine more roundness and softness, while maintaining its freshness.
- Aging / Wood Aging: The wine then ages for 8–10 months in stainless steel. This keeps the style pure, lively, and completely free of wood influence.
Grape composition
Here, everything revolves around one grape, precisely what gives this wine its clear focus.
- Chardonnay – Burgundy - Mâconnais: Chardonnay forms the complete basis and gives the wine its citrus-driven initial taste, round mouthfeel, and fresh length.
Tasting notes and serving suggestions
Light yellow in the glass, with a nose of citrus and lemon. On the palate, this Chardonnay is lively and round, with a slight pepperiness that gives it extra tension. The finish is long, fresh, and beautifully balanced.
- Serving temperature: 10–12 °C works best here, as this range allows the freshness and citrus aromas to open up beautifully, while the round structure is maintained.
- Dishes: Crayfish, escargots, white meat, and Comté pair wonderfully with this wine, as it has sufficient freshness and roundness for both refined and slightly richer flavors.
