Medium garnet. Flowers, violets, cedar, sweet roasted herbs. A Latour that I can inhale throughout the evening and be absolutely content. The nose is seductiv, spicy and complex. The wonderful bouquet of flavours carries through on the palate with amazing depth and the finish is very long. The wine beguiles by evolving and changing by the minute in the glass. A multi-dimensional beauty, one with charm as well as grace. A perfect wine from a perfect bottle, ex-chateau.

Full, rich, yet with lots of acidity. Clearly an old wine that is just starting to lose its fruit, it is still pretty intense with admirable freshness and transparency – a bit like a great old burgundy with real vivacity. Its appeal was broad and smudgy rather than sharp focused. I thought it could have been a 1962!

Château Latour

Château Latour is one of the most iconic estates of the Pauillac appellation and a founding reference in the history of Bordeaux winemaking. Its name appears as early as the 14th century, linked to the presence of a watchtower on the Gironde estuary, whose proximity still profoundly shapes the identity of the vineyard. As early as the 18th century, the wines of Château Latour were recognized for their consistency and their aging potential, establishing themselves among the greatest wines of the Médoc.

Classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé in the official 1855 classification, Château Latour holds a central place at the very top of the Bordeaux hierarchy. The estate is built on a remarkably homogeneous terroir of deep gravels dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, which gives its wines a powerful structure, remarkable depth, and a great consistency of expression.

The signature of Château Latour is defined by a dense tannic architecture and an exacting construction, favoring precision and longevity over immediate appeal. The estate has withdrawn from en primeur sales: it keeps its bottles at the property and releases them only at maturity. This patience can be read in its legendary vintages, from the 1945 vintage to the 1961 wine, from 1982 to 1990 through to 2009, illustrating the estate's ability to consistently express the excellence of the Pauillac terroir and the singularity of its style.
