CHÂTEAU LATOUR 1971

Wine 1971 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Pauillac

The 1971 vintage is a great success at Château Latour. The Premier Cru Classé is generous. A nose with scents of leather and caramel, in the mouth the fat tannins go perfectly with the richness and concentration of the wine. A Château Latour 1971 that can please many lovers of great wines.

This was a stunning wine, and a quite stunning 1971. Rich, medicinal, minty, sweet, flattering but with great Latour structure. Wonderful balance. Long. Gorgeous for current drinking.

Fairly deep garnet. Vibrant fresh dark berries, cedar, cassis. A vibrant Latour with lively blackberry fruit and fresh acidity. A very impressive wine given the vintage - this is one of the most successful wines from 1971. Still young and very densely packed.

I had this wine twice in a few week period, this note is from the better bottle. With the mature notes of tobacco, cedar, stone, and cassis, there was also a floral note that added to the complexity. Fresh, filled with charm and Pauillac essence, this is a great vintage of Latour as it offers character and a mature Latour experience for a reasonable price. Reasonable for a Latour that is approaching 50 years of age.

The 1971 Latour continues to drink beautifully, delivering complex aromas of cassis and blackberries mingled with notions of cigar ash and black truffle, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and impressively multidimensional palate endowed with a sweet core of fruit framed by rich structuring tannins.

Not as great as Parker states. A dense truffly, smoky nose followed by a powerful tannic wine that lacks depth and ripeness. Very austere like the 1978. A good but not totally enjoyable Latour. Mouton is better.

Bordeaux red color. Medium to evolved intensity. Discreet nose. Simple. Raspberry. Wine slender in the mouth, with a medium body but aromatic, finishing on fine and discreet tannins. Average length. Drink quickly unless you have magnums or larger containers.

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.
