CHÂTEAU LATOUR 1962

Wine 1962 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Pauillac

The 1962 Château Latour is of good quality but has always been in the shadow of the 1961 which was exceptional. Château Latour 1962 is very interesting to taste. A creamy caramel nose, supple and vigorous on the palate with a slight acidity that balances the whole. This Premier Grand Cru Classé is harmonious and serious.

. Latour continues to be one of the great vintages for this chateau. A dense opaque garnet color reveals amber at the edge, as well as an incredible perfume of cedar wood, balsam, coffee, black fruits, leather, and cigar smoke. The wine is supple and full-bodied, with sweet tannin, glorious levels of fruit and extract, abundant glycerin, and a seductive, truffle-flavored finish. While it has been drinkable for two decades, it is capable of lasting another 20 years. It is a perfectly balanced, exciting Latour that remains undervalued as well as underrated.

Château Latour

Château Latour is one of the most emblematic estates in the Pauillac appellation and a founding reference in Bordeaux wine history. Its name appears as early as the 14th century, linked to the presence of a watchtower on the Gironde estuary, whose proximity still profoundly marks the identity of the vineyard. From the 18th century onwards, the wines of Château Latour were recognized for their consistency and aging ability, establishing themselves among the greatest wines of the Médoc.

Classified as Premier Grand Cru Classé in the official 1855 classification, Château Latour occupies a central position at the summit of the Bordeaux hierarchy. The estate rests on particularly homogeneous deep gravel terroir, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, which gives the wines a powerful structure, remarkable depth and great regularity of expression.

The signature of Château Latour is distinguished by a dense tannic architecture and demanding construction, favoring precision and longevity over immediate seduction. Emblematic vintages such as Château Latour 1945, Château Latour 1961, Château Latour 1990, Château Latour 1996, Château Latour 2000 or Château Latour 2009 illustrate the estate's ability to consistently express the excellence of the Pauillac terroir and the singularity of its style.
