Avis d'expert

87 / 100

Jean-Marc Quarin

(02-1997) Dark red color. Slight evolution. Good intensity in absolute terms and for the vintage. Very beautiful. Nose of medium intensity. Animal touch, on a background of spice, wood, which lacks the fruit. To the bustle already close to a bouquet. Rounded structure, which takes on a creamy flavor in the middle of the palate but more emaciated than the 94 and 93. The interest relates to the final aromas where the fruit comes back with the spice, the wood. Tastes great right now.

Château informations

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.
