Bernard Latour is a highly qualified grower in his mid forties, so much so that he teaches viticulture at the local wine school. His vineyard, much of which is situated on the famous ÔPlan de DieuÕ outside Violes, is planted mainly with 40 year old Grenache with some Syrah and Mourvedre. His yield is 46 hl/ha for the Cotes du Rhone, but 37 hl/ha for his Villages. The vinification is traditional, some in stainless steel tanks and the remainder in cement vats, and lasts for about 12 days at a temperature between 30á and 34á. M. Latour pumps over the must one third of the total volume at a time in a daily cycle during fermentation. Part of the wine spends 6 to 9 months in foudres before bottling. The wine has no fining and just a very light filtration. These are old fashioned, rich, spicy wines (24 x 37.5 cl)
