Louis Latour
The family run company of Louis Latour is one of the most highly respected in Burgundy and is directed by Louis-Fabrice Latour. Renowned throughout the world for its quality of red and white wines, the company has built a reputation for tradition and innovation. Louis Latour`s Grand Ardeche Chardonnay is often mistaken in blind tastings for a Grand Cru Burgundy, such is the quality. The Domaine Valmoissine Pinot Noir and the Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru offer superb value for money. We have been buying the wines of Louis Latour for many years now, and they have proved to be hugely popular with both our trade and private clients.

Appellation d'Origine Controlee (AOC) wines take up a significant amount of the limelight in France, but there are many thousands hectares of vineyards that fall outside of this classification. Of these, wines granted the status of Indication Geographique Protegee (IGP) are the most important and include the regions of Ardeche, Languedoc-Roussillon and Cotes de Provence, France's best-known region for rose wines. Producers must meet strict conditions to hit the required quality standards, particularly around yields and minimum alcohol content. There are many excellent wines offering great value for money made under the IGP label and relaxed labelling laws allow winemakers to indicate the wine's grape variety on the bottle. Alongside the classic Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, varieties like Viognier, Grenache and Syrah are prominent. Despite a perception of inferior quality to AOC wines, this is not the case, as winemakers looking to work innovatively outside of their own strict AOC rules will label their wines as IGP.

Ardeche
Ardeche
Located in the northern Rhone, Ardeche is an IGP region that also encompasses the famous appellations of Saint-Joseph and Cornas. Before the reclassification of the French Country vineyard regions in 2009, Ardeche was a Vins De Pays region. Like many IGP regions, the traditional blends found in Ardeche are giving way to varietal wines and Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay are two grapes found planted alongside the traditional Rhone varieties of Syrah and Grenache. Mild winters and long, hot days are symbolic of the Mediterranean climate of Ardeche, and the cool Mistral wind that travels down the Rhone helps lengthen the ripening season.

Chardonnay
Produced in wine regions across the world, Chardonnay is a white wine producing grape, and is made in many different styles. From the lean, crisp wines of Chablis, to the exceptional dry Blancs de Blancs of Champagne and the buttery, rich, oaky wines of the warmer regions of California, Chardonnay wines exhibit a full spectrum of flavours and styles. As a fairly neutral grape, it is the land, soil, location, climate and winemaker that have the biggest impact on this famous grape.
