Autre

Tom Cannavan (01-2004) Intense dark core with youthful rim. Aromas of earth, cooked meat and black fruits. Concentrated palate. Medium bodied for Latour. Firm tannins. Balanced. Moderate complexity. Minerally. Quite lush on the finish. Superb for the 1993 vintage. Tasted at the château.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(06-1999) Intense dark core with youthful rim. Aromas of damp earth, cooked meats and blackberry. Medium-bodied with firm tannins. Balanced with moderate complexity. A little abrupt on the finish. A superior 1993, although not my favourite off-vintage Latour. Tasted June 1999.

Château informations

Château Latour

The Château Latour is a french estate. It is ranked Premier Cru Classé in the Official Classification created in 1855.

There are 2 other Châteaux in the Pauillac appellation which also benefit from the prestigious title of 1er Cru Classé: Lafite Rothschild and Mouton Rothschild.

Created around 1680, Château Latour's vineyard is one of the oldest in the Médoc. At the heart of the estate, the main parcel, called "l'Enclos", is made up of 47 hectares of old vines that are preciously maintained, because only they are able to give birth to the "Grand Vin". The 18 hectares of exterior plots, the vines less than 10 years old and the possibly downgraded cuvées produce the second wine of the estate, "Les Forts de Latour". The wine of Château Latour is an example of regularity regardless of the quality of the vintage. Firm, tannic and concentrated in its youth ...

Latour is the epitome of excellence in good years and bad ones. Among the greatest vintages, the most beautiful achievements of the chateau: 1920, 1929, 1949, 1955, 1959, 1961, 1970, 1982, 1990, 2000.
