The story
Founded in 1797, the Latour family have been wine-growers since the 17th century, slowly building up a unique Domaine of 50 hectares (120 acres). Latour has 33 hectares (82 acres) of vineyards in Aloxe-Corton, where the family owns Château Corton Grancey and the winery Corton Grancey. The winery Corton Grancey was built in 1834 and was the first purpose-built winery in France.
In 1997 Louis Latour was admitted into the exclusive club of the Hénokiens. This club only admits companies that remain family owned, have a history of 200 years' experience and still bear the name of the founder.
