Tracing their family owned winery and heritage back to 1731, Louis Latour continues to be one of the most established wineries in Burgundy. Maintaining their near 250 year tradition of simultaneously guarding and remaining true to Burgundian tradition while adopting modern innovation, each branch extension of the family brings new input and originality to the Latour dynasty and their wines.

Becoming a wine merchant in 1867 to more closely control the commercialisation of their wine and ensure their vision remains adhered to, Louis Latour continues to take matters into their own hands being a pioneer for sustainable agriculture allowing the finest and purest representation of the local terroir and grape varieties shine through their wines, resulting in over 29 hectares worth of grand cru vineyard, the highest classification for quality in the Burgundy region.

As head winemaker of over 20 year, Jean-Charles Thomas is not only responsible for the 50 over hectares of Domaine or directly owned vineyards, but is also responsible for the negociant aspect that covers working with around 500 growers from whom they purchase grape, grape juice and wine with some working relationships spanning generations and is driven by trust and a mutual vision of winemaking.

When cultivating the Louis Latour wines, Jean-Charles Thomas stresses the importance of the richness of the natural environment and terroir evident in the quality of the fruit driven wines displayed delicately and not overpoweringly to produce wines with elegance, balance and finesse.

A personal favourite label of Jean-Charles Thomas continues to be the Louis Latour Pouilly-Vinzelles “ En Paradis” that notably use historic, roman vineyards for their chardonnay grapes.
