Description : At the heart of a constellation of Grand Crus is to be found Le Chambertin, a small parcel that has belonged to the Latour family since the end of the 19th century. Chambertin «Cuvée Héritiers Latour» displays a robust alliance of intense fruit and noble soil with the vigour and concentration of fine and fully-mature Pinot Noir grapes. It is complemented by a firm, intense finish which mellows out in time and attains heightened complexity with further ageing. A particularly distinctive feature of this appellation is its longevity.
