Description
Aloxe-Corton is the home village of the Latour family who have been closely involved in the affairs of the commune for over three centuries. Of the total hectarage of this Premier Cru, Domaine Louis Latour controls over 90% of the production centered on the famous Chateau and cuverie of Corton-Grancey. These vines are an important part of Domaine Louis Latour. The name 'Les Chaillots' refers to the stony, pebbly nature of the soil in this vineyard, deriving from the French 'caillou'. The wines of Aloxe-Corton combine the finesse of a Cote de Beaune with the mellow, powerful appeal of the Cote de Nuits.
