Louis Latour Mâcon-Villages 2022 Burgundy, France
Louis Latour Mâcon-Villages 2022 is a fresh white Burgundy made from Chardonnay grapes from the Mâconnais. For this wine, Maison Louis Latour selects grapes from the better Mâcon-Villages plots, aiming to create a classic, pure, and well-balanced Chardonnay. The combination of 30-year-old vines, clay and limestone soils, and aging in stainless steel gives this wine its round initial taste, white peach notes, subtle muscat undertone, and mineral finish.
Vineyards and region
Mâcon-Villages is located in the Mâconnais, the southern part of Burgundy where Chardonnay achieves a round and approachable style.
• Location / Origin: The wine comes from the Mâcon-Villages appellation, within the Mâconnais. This area is known for white Burgundy Chardonnay with freshness, fruit, and a friendly structure.
• Selection: Maison Louis Latour selects grapes from the better Mâcon-Villages sites. This ensures the style remains consistent, clean, and recognizably Burgundian.
• Soil: The vines grow on clay and limestone. Clay gives the wine more roundness and body, while limestone helps preserve freshness and mineral tension.
• Vineyard & Harvest: The vines are on average 30 years old, and the yield is around 45 hl per hectare. The grapes are harvested mechanically, fitting the pure and approachable style of this cuvée.
Grape composition
This white Burgundy is made entirely from Chardonnay.
• Chardonnay – Mâcon-Villages: Chardonnay gives this wine its white peach, floral notes, round mouthfeel, and fresh mineral finish. In the Mâconnais, the grape often develops a smoother, slightly riper style than in cooler parts of Burgundy, while stainless steel keeps the wine fresh and bright.
Vinification and aging
The vinification aims for pure fruit, roundness, and fresh balance.
• Fermentation: The wine is traditionally fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and undergoes full malolactic conversion. This preserves the bright fruit, while softening the acidity and giving the wine a rounder feel.
• Aging: The wine ages for 8–10 months in stainless steel tanks. This ensures that white peach, floral notes, and the mineral finish remain prominent, without any influence from wood.
• Aging Potential: This Mâcon-Villages has an aging potential of 3–5 years. This suits its fresh, round style, where fruit, balance, and immediate drinkability are key.
Tasting notes and serving suggestions
In the glass, Louis Latour Mâcon-Villages 2022 has a pale yellow color with green reflections. The aroma opens with white peach and a subtle hint of muscat. The taste is round and floral, with a beautiful mineral finish.
• Serving temperature: Serve this Mâcon-Villages at 10–12 °C, so that the white peach, floral notes, and mineral freshness combine beautifully.
• Pairings: Delicious with shellfish, fish dishes, charcuterie, and Comté.
