Maison Louis Latour is one of the most highly-respected négociant-éléveurs in Burgundy. Maison Louis Latour is the producer of some of the finest Burgundian wines but has also pioneered the production of fine wines from outside of the confines of Burgundy. With a view to expanding the business in 1979, the valley of the Ardèche River with its clay and limestone-based soils was chosen as the ideal location to produce a top-quality Chardonnay wine. The Chardonnay d'Ardeche is aged in stainless steel vats for approximately 10 months. Sparkling pale gold in color, the Ardeche Chardonnay has a delicious bouquet of honey accompanied with aromas of yellow fruits and apricot. In the mouth it is rounded with flavors of yellow peach and a lovely lasting freshness
