CHÂTEAU LATOUR 1983

Wine 1983 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Pauillac

After the immense success of the 1982 vintage, the 1983 vintage is trying to establish itself as a great vintage. A rather satisfactory year at Château Latour in the Pauillac appellation. Marked by an ideal flowering which began on June 8 and superb harvests at the end of September, Château Latour offers a great harmonious wine with a very present fruit in the mouth. A pleasant tasting.

Jancis Robinson March - 2011

This was a very good bottle. Dark vibrant crimson. Very concentrated and sweet with an intense nose reminiscent of liquorice that almost reminded me of Syrah. Quite amazing persistence with an impressively fresh finish. Because the bottle I'd chosen had been a 1961 that was a little disappointing on first opening, I thought this could have been it – a sign of how winning this 1983 was.

A solid, firm wine with a tannin structure that is softening. Aromas of chocolate, ripe fruit and meat. Full-bodied, with loads of fruit and tannins and a long, long finish. Thick and chewy. Gorgeous.

Beautiful, slightly evolved color. The wine does not reveal itself on opening. It needs time but will gradually open up during tasting. Black fruits, mushroom, great depth. The palate is rich and long. It does not have the brilliance found in a great vintage, but this is a more than excellent '83.

Falstaff January - 2010

Strong ruby garnet, delicately ochre-tinged, with a broader watery rim. On the nose, ripe plum compote, forest berry jam, subtle lactic nuances, fine herbal spice. On the palate, substantial and immensely sweet, fine tannins, delicate honey touch, good length, subtle bitter chocolate note, a hint of black tea on the finish, oranges in the aftertaste, adheres well, delicate roasted notes, still has a good future even in single bottle, an absolute top wine of the vintage.

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.
