| | | | | | |  | | | Discover Burgundy's largest Grand Cru holdings with a visit to this renowned Maison. | | | "We're happy to welcome Cork+Compass Travel for the very first time. We've known the Wine Enthusiast team for many years and have always valued their deep interest in Burgundy. Since joining the team, we've met Anna-Christina on several occasions and always appreciated her sincere passion for Burgundy and its wines.
As Maison Louis Latour is not open to the public, we rarely host private visitors, making this visit truly unique. The Cuverie Corton Grancey, built in 1832, is nestled among the vines of the Corton hill and was the first purpose-built winery in France. We are proud to share this special place and the story of our independent, family-owned House, founded in 1797."
