Grape variety / Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon (~75%), Merlot (~23%), Cabernet Franc (~2%), Petit Verdot (~2%) (variations may occur from one vintage to another)

Cellar Tracker February - 2024

It's hard not to be romantic about wine when you find a label-less Châtour Latour, are worried for about two months regarding whether it'll drink well or not, and then you wind up with a 96 point wine on the night when you do eventually open it. The first bottle of five on the night in a tasting that saw us cover four decades of Bordeaux wine (60s-90s) and this stole the show. The nose was an aromatic treat, packed with scents of spice, cedar, toasted coconut, grapefruit, tobacco and oregano. The tannins from the hot 1968 summer mellowed down to produce a palate that had incredible for its age as notes of redcurrants and crème de cassis were balanced out with peppercorn, meat and a tinge of leather across some reasonably good acidity. Just an absolute joy on the night and shows you the beauty of mature Bordeaux.

The colour alone, shading into brick red, indicates a clearly mature wine, which the aroma confirms. The initially slightly balsamic spicy notes with hints of dark chocolate and coffee quickly tip in a slightly oxidative direction. On the palate, an excellent structure saves the performance of this great wine from a small year.

Château Latour

Château Latour is one of the most iconic estates in the Pauillac appellation and a founding reference in Bordeaux wine history. Its name dates back to the 14th century, linked to the presence of a watchtower on the Gironde estuary, whose proximity continues to profoundly mark the identity of the vineyard. From the 18th century onwards, the wines of Château Latour have been recognised for their consistency and ageing ability, establishing themselves among the greatest wines of the Médoc.

Classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé in the official 1855 classification, Château Latour occupies a central position at the pinnacle of the Bordeaux hierarchy. The estate is built upon particularly homogeneous deep gravel terroir, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, which gives the wines a powerful structure, remarkable depth and great consistency of expression.

The signature of Château Latour is distinguished by a dense tannic architecture and demanding construction, favouring precision and longevity over immediate appeal. Iconic vintages such as Château Latour 1945, Château Latour 1961, Château Latour 1990, Château Latour 1996, Château Latour 2000 and Château Latour 2009 illustrate the estate's ability to consistently express the excellence of the Pauillac terroir and the singularity of its style.
