Louis Latour Criots Batard Montrachet Grand Cru 2019 750 ML

The appellation Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet was created in 1937, the name “criots” comes from “chalk / stone” of the vineyard.nThis vineyard of 1.57 hectares is one of the smallest appellations in France, producing only a small quantity of its rare wine every year. At an altitude of around 240m, a little lower than its Grands Crus neighbours Chevalier-Montrachet and Montrachet, it is the only one of the 4 Grands Crus in the South of Cote de Beaune that is situated entirely in the village of Chassagne-Montrachet.nMade exclusively from Chardonnay, this vineyard benefits from an easterly exposure which guarantees maximum ripeness of the grapes. The soil is made of gravel and is relatively well-drained. It is based on the Bathonian limestone with outcrops of mixed clays.
