Big tannins and impressive fruits are the hallmarks of this impressive wine. It is also subtle, not showing all its flavors at once, hiding beneath tannins and structure. For this fruity vintage, it shows a strong sense of direct, solid structure, only allowing the strong black plum and berry flavors to come through slowly. It is for the long haul, so don't drink before 2022, even better later.

Wine Enthusiast
The Estate

Château Latour, one of Bordeaux's five First Growths, boasts a vineyard dating back to 1680 in the Médoc region. Its prime location near the Gironde Estuary moderates extreme weather, contributing to its exceptional terroir. Renowned for rich, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines, Latour produces highly tannic vintages that evolve slowly, developing complex aromas of hazelnut, leather, blackcurrant, and graphite over time. This longevity and depth of character cement Latour's reputation as the quintessential wine for aging, embodying the pinnacle of Bordeaux winemaking.

Late Heat Tests Gravels

September heat spikes challenged vines, but Latour's deep gravel soils provided crucial water regulation through the vintage's warmest periods. The First Growth's patient October harvest allowed Cabernet Sauvignon to achieve full phenolic ripeness. The wine reveals intense black fruits, iron-tinged minerality, and the profound structure that marks Latour's greatest vintages.

Heat Builds Power

Early summer drought and sustained warmth through August created ideal ripening conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon on Latour's deep gravel soils. September's moderate temperatures allowed for precise parcel-by-parcel harvesting across the estate's prime 47-hectare L'Enclos vineyard. The wine reflects the vintage's power with intense cassis and graphite notes, while maintaining Latour's signature length and aristocratic structure.
