Avis d'expert

91 / 100

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(6-2000)
From what is considered to be the finest vintage of a disappointing decade, Latour's 1934 possesses a deep garnet color in addition to a smoky, mineral, sweet, cedary-scented nose with hints of tobacco, iron, asphalt, and a Provencal garrigue note. Ripe and long, with moderate tannin and admirable sweetness, the 1934 was showing exceptionally well.

89 / 100

Wine Spectator

(8-2000)
An earthy note in this wine makes it a bit funky, but I like its richness. Good dark ruby color. Aromas of ginger, spice and fruit, with a slight vegetal note. Full-bodied, with silky, ripe tannins. Very long in the mouth.

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.
