Louis Latour Saint-Véran Les Deux Moulins Winemaking

The vineyards are situated on Jurassic chalky clay.
Fermented in stainless steel to preserve fruit freshness.
Undergoes slow, cool fermentation with complete malolactic fermentation to maintain rich, concentrated flavours.
Aged for 8 to 10 months in stainless steel vats before bottling.
Why Is This Wine Called “Les Deux Moulins”?
Louis Latour Saint-Véran Les Deux Moulins takes its name from the two watermills that straddle the La Petite Grosne river. The rain that falls on the vineyards filters through the calcareous bedrock to help feed the river as it flows west towards the famous monastic town of Cluny.
About The Saint-Véran Appellation
Saint-Véran is situated in the very South of the Mâconnais. The Saint-Véran vineyards form a belt around Pouilly-Fuissé. The two are similar in terms of relief and production techniques, even in their actual taste and fragrance. The area’s Jurassic chalk soil and the vineyard’s ideal exposure combine perfectly to produce top-quality fruit.
For wine lovers exploring Burgundy beyond Chablis, Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet, Saint-Véran is well worth discovering. It offers a distinctly Burgundian expression of Chardonnay, but one that is often more accessible and immediately approachable.
Maison Louis Latour, Since 1797
The Latour family have long been established in Burgundy’s wine trade. They began as vinegrowers in the village of Aloxe-Corton as early as 1768 and went on to establish today’s business, Maison Louis Latour, in 1797. Today, they are one of the region’s most famous names, creating wines from their own 50-hectare domaine in the Côte d’Or and grapes and wines purchased through the negociant arm of the business.
The company remains in family ownership, and Eléonore Latour, the 12th generation member of the Latour family, is the first female member of the family to join the business. Eléonore is the vice president and is ably supported by head winemaker Jean Charles Thomas and domaine director Christophe Deola. Although they are most famous for their Burgundy wines, Maison Louis Latour has vineyards in many other areas of France, including Beaujolais, Ardèche – Coteaux de L’Ardèche and Var – Coteaux de Verdon.
