This famous negociant/vineyard owner, founded in 1797, has made very fine 1992s. The big wines, such as the top premier crus and grand crus, spend a year in 100% new oak and have considerable lees contact for the first 7-8 months, although there is no stirring, or so-called "batonage" practiced. Latour's 1992s will be released in late fall, 1993. Slightly richer, fuller, and nuttier than the 1992 Pouilly-Fuisse, with low acidity and high alcohol, the 1992 Meursault should be drunk over the next 3-4 years. Louis Latour is represented by different importers in each state.
