The wine is ruby coloured with garnet tints. It has intense aromas of raspberry and wild savoury notes. On the palate there are notes of blackcurrant, liquorice and mocha. This wine is harmonious with ripe tannins and balanced acidity.

The Domaine de Valmoissine is located on the site of the ancient monastery and university of Valmoissine in the village of Aups close to the Verdon gorge. It is a high altitude site and provides plenty of sunshine with cooler temperatures. This helps to ensuring the grapes ripen slowly, on low yielding vines, avoiding jammy flavours or too much alcohol. Winemaking is simple and employs traditional Burgundian techniques.

Founded in 1797, Maison Louis Latour has been in family ownership for 11 generations and are one of the region's most famous names. They have the privilege of creating wines from their own 50 hectare domaine in the Côte d'Or and also from the very best grapes and wines purchased through the negociant arm of the business. They also produce all their own barrels at their small, traditional cooperage in Savigny-Lès-Beaune.
