  • What the experts say...

    (...) Ce vin très corsé et monumental, véritable sirop de cabernet, est semblable à un Porto, de bonne mâche et onctueux à en mourir. Opaque et pourpre de robe, il dégage de paradisiaques senteurs de fruits noirs, de truffe, de cuir de cèdre et de minéral. (...) Fabuleusement velouté et riche, le Latour 1961 conserve une robe intacte et ne donne aucun signe de vieillissement. Ce vin massif et extraordinaire est très certainement l'un des Bordeaux des plus grandioses (...). Source : Robert Parker (6/97)

    The wine

    Latour's wines show exemplary consistency, whatever the quality of the vintage. Firm, tannic and concentrated in their youth, they require long cellaring to reveal the full depth of their power and extraordinary richness. When perfectly mature, the wine has an incredible bouquet of blackcurrants, hazelnuts and leather. A monumental wine.

    Information about domain Château Latour

    Created in around 1680, Château Latour is one of the oldest vineyards in the Médoc. There is a central plot known as the Enclos with 47 hectares of old vines that are maintained with extreme care, as these are the ones used to make the grand vin. Another 18 hectares of external plots, consisting of vines less than ten years-old and potentially declassified plots are used to produce the property's second wine, Les Forts de Latour.
