Château 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.

You always taste the "Pau" with Les Forts and the Grand Vin and this charming Pauillac de Latour is no exception. It's ripe, supple and succulent with really impressive, concentrated, cool, precise black and red fruits.

	Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Cab.Sauvignon Blend, For laying down, 12% alc. Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for delivery. 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.

	Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Cab.Sauvignon Blend, For laying down, 12% alc. Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for delivery. We had been a bit disappointed with the quality of the Second wines in 2006 until we tasted this astonishingly good Forts de Latour. We scored this wine better than the two Pichons, which were themselves two of the best Second Growths in 2006. This has outstanding balance and pedigree from the dense, dark, aromatic nose to the very long, pure finish. The wine reflects the elegance of 2006 with lifted, cool black fruit on the palate, a great structure and savoury tannins. MORE BBR Score: 18/20. Parker Score: 90 -92 /100.

	Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Cab.Sauvignon Blend, For laying down, 13% alc. 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. MORE BBR Score: 17.5/20. Jancis Score: 17.5/20. Parker Score: 92 /100.

	Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Cab.Sauvignon Blend, For laying down, 13% alc. "A brilliant Forts de Latour, the 2000 boasts a dense ruby/purple color along with a vibrant nose of black currants intermixed with minerals, tobacco, and spice box. Medium to full-bodied, with loads of glycerin and fat (that nearly obscure some serious tannin), it will be drinkable between 2007-2020." 91/100 points (Robert Parker - Wine Advocate - Apr-2003) MORE Drink: 2007 -2020 .

	Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Cab.Sauvignon Blend, Ready, but will keep, 12.5% alc. "A flavorful, savory Latour, without a great deal of density or power, the 1997 exhibits sweet, walnut-tinged, black currant fruit intertwined with minerals and subtle wood. Nicely-textured, with adequate acidity, ripe tannin, and a medium-bodied finish, this smooth effort should drink well until 2014" 89/100 pts Robert Parker (Wine Advocate Apr 00) MORE

	Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Cab.Sauvignon Blend, Ready, but will keep, 12.5% alc. An unusually high percentage of Merlot in the blend makes this a softer, more approachable Latour. It is nonetheless a powerful, intense wine that will need another 3 years before it is ready, but it will be worth the wait. You can already detect a fabulous purity of fruit and textbook cigar box and cassis; high tannins without astringency and a remarkable length. If you can resist, it will keep until 2030. MORE
