At the heart of the prestigious Côte de Nuits, surrounded by a constellation of Grands Crus, lies Chambertin, a vineyard revered for its exceptional terroir. The geological phenomenon known as the alluvial fan has endowed this site with an extraordinary richness, characterized by deep brown calcareous soils. This unique composition nurtures Pinot Noir vines to produce wines of remarkable power, complexity, and longevity, seamlessly blending the strength of the varietal with the unmistakable imprint of the land. In the late 19th century, the Latour family acquired 0.81 hectares within the Chambertin Grand Cru appellation, securing a prized parcel that stretches from the top to the bottom of the hillside, closer in proximity to Latricières-Chambertin than to Clos de Bèze. Passed down through generations, this cherished vineyard is now known as Chambertin “Cuvée Héritiers Latour”, a tribute to the enduring legacy of the Latour family.
