Seductive aromas of dried autumn leaves, dried flowers and lovely floral notes. This wine has gorgeous, fresh array of flavours and a long finish.

Jean-Marc Quarin
Dark red. Good intensity. Slight evolution. Clean. Medium intensity. Leather. Animal. Cooked fruit. Touch of cedar. Ditto. Resin plus cream. Rich. Soft and suave attack, developing on an ample and flavoursome structure, with ripe fruit and almost resinous notes that provide tension on the palate. The tannic evolution is coated, with a still slightly firm grain. Good persistence. A great pleasure.

Big and hard, with compact plum, tobacco and cedar flavours and full, silky tannins.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
Once past the bouquet of black fruits, cedar, and oak of the 1989, it is round, generously endowed, surprisingly supple (even for the second wine of Latour), low in acidity, with a fleshy, heady finish.

Château Latour
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.
