Spiced apple aromas and a suave, lush personality are found in the 2001 Montagny. Tea, apple sauce, and pear make up this light to medium-bodied, sensual wine's flavor profile. It should be drunk over the next 2 years. Maison Louis Latour appears to have faired significantly better than many of its fellow negociants in 2001. "We are very surprised, these were hugely acidic prior to malolactic fermentation but really good afterwards," said Jean-Pierre Jobard, Latour's winemaker. His boss, this firm's director, Louis-Fabrice Latour, added that "we've come to love the 2001 whites with time, they keep improving during elevage and we find that there is, in this vintage, a large step in quality between the village AOC wines and the premier crus."Maison Louis Latour has a different importer in each state.
