Chateau Latour


Château Latour is the most powerful and long-lasting of the Médoc 1er crus classés. Latour is situated in the south of the Pauillac appellation bordering St-Julien and its 65 hectares of vineyards are nearer to the Gironde estuary than any other 1st Growth.

Latour's vineyards are distinguished by their very high gravel content as well as their extraordinary depth, with many of the vines penetrating as far as 5 metres into the soil. They are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (80%), Merlot (15%), Cabernet Franc (4%) and Petit Verdot (1%).

The high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon makes Latour the most tannic and opaque in colour and impenetrable of all the 1st Growths when young, but, with extended cellaring and the overall impression is of intense, piercing, blackcurrant fruits, intermingled with cedarwood and bolstered by rich, ripe tannins. The very best Latour vintages can last for eternity and should not be approached before their 20th birthday.

In 2007 Les Forts de Latour has produced a wine that is comfortably of Second Growth quality. It is an elegant, feminine Les Forts rather than a tannic beast, perfectly harnessing the finest aspects of the vintage. The nose is brooding and serious, while on the palate the wine explodes with sweet mouthfilling cassis and cool precise blackberries with licorice and coffee hints. Made from 59% Cabernet Sauvignon and 41% Merlot this is creamy and refined with very supple tannins. It may not reach the dizzy heights of the 2005 but in the context of the vintage it is excellent.

"Latour’s second wine, the 2004 Les Forts de Latour, is a blend of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon and 26% Merlot that represents 41% of the production. Medium to full-bodied with good density, it is the finest second wine I tasted. It exhibits a dark ruby/purple color, plenty of black currant and cherry fruit, and fine length. It should drink well for 15+ years." 90-94/100 points. (Robert Parker - Wine Advocate - Apr-2005)

With only 40% of the crop making it into the Grand Vin it is perhaps not surprising that this is, to put it mildly, a bit of alright. Old vines have helped give this wine real backbone to go with the intense, mouthwatering cassis fruit and pure minerality. The finish is quite incredible.  This is so good that you can also understand how the Wine Spectator's James Suckling marked it 95-100 points. Drink 2012-2020.

Between the 1999 and 2004 in style, this is an incredibly supple and approachable Latour, although that is a relative term when it comes to this formidable First Growth. Underneath the aristocratic, fragrant, black fruit nose lies an incredibly concentrated palate of blackberry coulis, plums and dark chocolate with toast, coffee and cigar notes. The tannins are firm but incredibly ripe, the structure extremely impressive, while the rich finish is wonderful. This is an elegant, highly attractive and intellectual Latour that will provide enormous drinking pleasure without having to wait the usual 12-15 years to open your first bottle.

The 1985 vintage is the best for current drinking, with the wines at the peak of their charms. As always, First Growth Latour is one of the very finest.

"Fine colour. Impressive nose. Not too tannic. Still youthful nevertheless. Lovely Cabernet fruit. Medium-full body. Beautifully balanced, very ripe, almost sweet fruit. Not a bit too austere. Almost ready. Long, complex, intense and very, very classy. Splendid for the vintage. Drink 2004-2028." (Clive Coates - The Vine - 01-Jan-2001)

This was a very hot year producing a Latour that is more generous than powerful, however there is no doubting its breeding.
