Louis Latour Vosne Romanee - 1er Cru Les Chaumes - 2022
Description
Vosne-Romanee, famous the world over for its Grand Crus, also produces some Premier Crus of an outstanding quality. "Les Chaumes" is located underneath the plot of "Aux Malconsorts" at the same altitude as the village of Vosne-Romanee and North of Nuits-Saint-Georges. The iron-based soil is ideal for growing Pinot Noir. The grapes reach full maturity and produce wonderfully aromatic wines. The term "Chaumes" has the same origin as "Charmes", it indicates that it was unplanted land before becoming a vineyard.
