With Domaine de Valmoissine, Louis Latour demonstrates how Pinot Noir can also be elegant and refined outside Burgundy, provided the right altitude, soil, and exposure come together. The choice for this high-altitude estate in the Var aligns with the Burgundian precision of the house, but at the same time gives the wine a sunnier, more southern character.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Louis Latour","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45211067252815,"sku":"3511","price":7.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/LouisLatourValmoissinePinotNoir0_375L.webp?v=1778507819","url":"https:\/\/perfectewijn.nl\/en\/products\/louis-latour-valmoissine-pinot-noir-0375l","provider":"Perfecte Wijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
