My guest this week is Linda Hinton, Communications Director and Regional Manager for Maison Louis Latour exclusively in the central US, specializing in the wines of Burgundy, France.
From the heart of their domaine on the Corton hillside, Maison Louis Latour has witnessed more than two centuries of Burgundian history. Founded in 1797, Maison Louis Latour has survived the ages and has become a natural custodian of Burgundy’s ancient traditions. Authentic and determinedly independent, the House has always made it a point of honor to remain family owned. It is now run by the seventh Louis Latour who represents the 11th generation of the founding family, who like each generation before him, has worked hard to preserve the company’s unique heritage whilst ensuring the future with an ambitious and visionary spirit.
MLL strives for perfection in everything they do to in order to meet the demands and expectations of its customers. In 1997, Maison Louis Latour celebrated its bicentennial and was admitted to the Henokiens Club, a select circle of companies who have remained in founding family ownership for at least 200 years and still bear the name of their founder.
