Jean-Marc Quarin February - 1997
Jean-Marc Quarin
Dark red. Bordeaux. Homogeneous. Slight evolution. Brilliant like all the others. Net. Medium intensity. Discreet. Fruit and tobacco. (the plant melts) Idem. Very classic smell of Bordeaux with often compromised maturity. The plant is a bit there but melted. Both melted and lively attack, which develops on a straight structure, quite fat and creamy in its flavor, even if the vegetal touch is there.

Château Latour

Château Latour is ranked Premier Cru Classé in the Official Classification created in 1855.

There are 2 other Châteaux in the Pauillac appellation which also benefit from the prestigious title of 1er Cru Classé: Lafite Rothschild and Mouton Rothschild. 

Created around 1680, Château Latour's vineyard is one of the oldest in the Médoc. At the heart of the estate, the main parcel, called "l'Enclos", is made up of 47 hectares of old vines that are preciously maintained, because only they are able to give birth to the "Grand Vin". The 18 hectares of exterior plots, the vines less than 10 years old and the possibly downgraded cuvées produce the second wine of the estate, "Les Forts de Latour". The wine of Château Latour is an example of regularity regardless of the quality of the vintage. Firm, tannic and concentrated in its youth ...

Latour is the epitome of excellence in good years and bad ones. Among the greatest vintages, the most beautiful achievements of the chateau: 1920, 1929, 1949, 1955, 1959, 1961, 1970, 1982, 1990, 2000.
