The 2023 Maison Louis Latour Montagny La Grande Roche shows exactly why Montagny remains one of Burgundy’s most rewarding white wine appellations. The first sip delivers Premier Cru character, layered with citrus, mineral drive, and vibrant energy, offering the depth and sophistication that remind us why Burgundy sets the benchmark for Chardonnay. Montagny occupies a special place in the Côte Chalonnaise. Its limestone-rich slopes have long produced Chardonnays prized for their freshness and clear sense of place. The 2023 La Grande Roche showcases those qualities beautifully, unfolding with citrus, orchard fruit, and subtle mineral nuance across a palate that feels focused, energetic, and remarkably complete. Few names carry more weight in Burgundy than Louis Latour. Since 1797, the family has spent generations farming, vinifying, and championing some of the region’s most important vineyards, earning a reputation for wines that faithfully reflect their origins. That experience shines through in the 2023 La Grande Roche, where vineyard character remains front and center. Awarded 94 points by James Suckling, it delivers an authentic expression of Premier Cru Burgundy at a price that is increasingly difficult to find.
