Description
  • "Clos des Toisières" used to be a small quarry. 'Toisières' is derived from the word 'toit' (roof), and refers to the huge flat stones coming from this quarry sometimes used as roofs. Maison Louis Latour has the monopoly on this climat situated on the higher south-east facing slopes in the pretty little village of Monthélie, hidden away between the vineyards of Meursault and Volnay. Despite its imposing neighbours, Monthélie produces highly aromatic, robust red wines such as this "Clos des Toisières".

Wine tasting
  • Tasting Note
    Our Monthélie 1er Cru "Clos des Toisières" 2014 shows a ruby red colour. On the nose, the freshness and the fruits dominate with cherry, grilled hazelnut and liquorice notes. Nice balance on the palate with a lightly minty finish. The wine is suple and already pleasing.
