The red “Les Pierres Dorées” is a pure Pinot Noir produced by Louis Latour, one of the most important names in Burgundy, which owns vineyards from Côte-d’Or to Beaujolais. This interesting label comes from the southern area of Les Pierres Dorées. The calcareous soils rich in iron oxide have proven to be very suitable for a demanding grape variety like Pinot Noir. The vineyards are located in the territory of the municipalities of Morancé and Theizé, at an altitude between 280 and 400 meters, with a very cool
and sunny. At the end of the harvest, the classic red winemaking process is followed with skin maceration. The wine then ages for a period of 10/12 months partly in steel and partly in French oak barrels.The “Les Pierres Dorées” is the result of a successful bet by Louis Latour, who believed in the potential of this area of Beaujolais to produce a Pinot Noir with an interesting profile characterized by a strong territorial personality. The wine has a bright ruby red color, with slight garnet hues. The olfactory profile is fresh and fragrant, with delicate aromas of small red berries, floral touches, and spicy nuances. On the palate, it has a good structure with a fruity sip of pleasant smoothness and harmony, also thanks to delicate tannins and a pleasantly fresh finish.
