Infos produit

The 1977 vintage is rather mixed on the Bordeaux side. This Château Latour 1977 has a rather smoky cedar nose. On the palate, the wine is soft, with no astringency or harshness on tasting. This classified growth is mature but can still be kept in the cellar.

(12-1997) Color. Dark red. Medium intensity. Evolved. Nose. Net. Medium intensity. Animal. Cedar. Cigar box. Undergrowth. Earthy and ferruginous note. Restlessness. Poorer in fruit. Dead leaf. Brisk attack. Medium to light structure, rounded, combining good tannic balance and acidity. It's delicious. The tannin is melted, the finish simple and creamy. A little drying up. Don't persist. Wine from another world now.

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.
