Louis Latour Les Quatre Journaux Grand Cru, Romanée-St-Vivant

Louis Latour holds a long history in Burgundy, and its holding in Romanée-Saint-Vivant is among the most treasured in the domaine’s portfolio. The parcel, known as *Les Quatre Journaux*—a reference to the historic Burgundian land measure—lies at the heart of the Grand Cru, neighbouring the fabled Romanée-Conti. The site’s fine limestone soils and gentle slope are renowned for producing wines of complexity and longevity.

Vinification is traditional, with fermentation in open vats and maturation in new French oak barrels made by Latour’s own cooperage, ensuring control over the quality and style of the élevage. This precise approach allows the terroir to speak clearly while adding structure for ageing.

In the glass, *Les Quatre Journaux* typically presents a bouquet of red and black fruits with hints of spice and floral notes. The palate is layered, with depth of fruit, fine tannins, and a long finish that develops gracefully over time.
