Lastly, the Grand Vin is a heavenly wine that offers a quintessential Latour bouquet of pure crème de cassis, graphite, lead pencil shavings, tobacco, and a liquid rock-like minerality. It shows a touch of the riper, sexy style of the vintage, yet still stays tight and compact on the palate, with full-bodied richness, fine yet building tannins, flawless balance, and a great finish. Not far off the style of the 2009, this is going to be approachable with just 4-6 years of bottle age and will have 40 years of longevity.

Really gorgeous aromatics, so perfumed, acutely aromatic, pristine, clear and precise with tobacco, cocoa, ash and liquorice. Round, heady, a sexy wine, with a lot to say, generous and open, smooth and layered - this deepens straight away vertically. I love the juiciness, there’s clarity to the raspberry, blueberry and blackcurrant fruit, sleek and joyful but the texture is there with a wet stone and liquorice to the tannins that gives such grip and edge of power. Still youthful and quite serious but there’s something so appealing about it with a sexy character and complexity. Bright and sharp but also with sweetness from the ripe vintage and savoury notes of truffle, cocoa, dark chocolate giving contrast. Such enjoyable floral violet scents too that follow the wine from start to finish. Excellently controlled and delivered with supreme appeal. One you want to sit with and take your time over, and then gulp down! 69 IPT, 30% of production. Harvest 15 september to 10 October. Technical director Hélène Genin.

Aromas of iron, oyster shell, rust and stones with blueberries and blackberries. Full-bodied, yet ever so polished and refined. It rolls off the palate with fruit and salty flavors. Tight, focused and always refined. Pretty length. 97% cabernet sauvignon gives this brightness. Drink in 2022.

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.

Gravel Base Guards Quality

Cool maritime influence from the Gironde proved vital during challenging autumn conditions. The estate's historic gravel plateau and old vines demonstrated resilience through variable weather. Classic cassis notes and mineral depth reflect the First Growth's precision, despite the vintage's demands.

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.
