CHÂTEAU LATOUR 1945

Wine 1945 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Pauillac

The difficult climatic conditions of 1945 did not prevent the Château Latour winegrowers from producing great wines. The 1945 vintage is now one of the best vintages of Château Latour, if not the best. Spicy nose, and a very nice aromatic persistence in the mouth. Full of charm, this Château Latour 1945 is a great success.

This was served blind with my bottle of 1961 that had been a little disappointing on opening and was much racier and more transparent than the wine that turned out to the 1961. Chock full of life and vivacity, extremely racy, dancing and very legible. Mellifluous with all its tannins resolved. Much fresher than the bottle tasted at Morton's in London last year. Glorious wine.

Perfect in every way. Dark ruby colour with an amber edge. Aromas of mint, berry, blackberry, earth and spices pop out of the glass. Full-bodied and brimming over with sweet fruit character, ripe and velvety tannins. Long and succulent finish. What more could you want in a wine? Best bottle of 1945 Latour I have ever had.

Medium garnet. Dried flowers, ripe plums, cedar. The 1945 tasted nearly 8 years ago at the chateau was memorable, but not as intense and complex as this bottle. This is an incredible wine with still lively fruit characters and a depth that comes from great structure, freshness and intense flavours. The long bottle aging has added depth and nuances which add to the complexity. The 1945 and the 1947 Latour are two of the best older Bordeaux that I have ever tasted. A glorious wine, ex-chateau!

A great wine. Surely one of the best ever Latours, drinking beautifully now but with many years more of life. Full-bodied, rich, complete, silky tannins, complex, great length.

The '45 Latour has a quite incredible, show-stopping bouquet: utterly decadent with black cherries, sloes, fennel, nail varnish and a lot of volatility…but still entrancing. The palate has a tangible medicinal quality to it, as noted on the bottle served at Linden's vertical, extraordinarily rich and ravishing, although not as refined or profound as Mouton. Another bottle was similar with crème de menthe, precocious rounded red fruits, utterly harmonious with a ripe, sweet, almost tart-like finish. Wonderful…if a bit of a crazy Latour!

Château Latour

Château Latour is one of the most emblematic estates in the Pauillac appellation and a founding reference in Bordeaux wine history. Its name appears as early as the 14th century, linked to the presence of a watchtower on the Gironde estuary, whose proximity still profoundly marks the identity of the vineyard. From the 18th century onwards, the wines of Château Latour were recognised for their consistency and ageing ability, establishing themselves among the greatest wines of the Médoc.

Classified as Premier Grand Cru Classé in the official 1855 classification, Château Latour occupies a central position at the pinnacle of the Bordeaux hierarchy. The estate rests on 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 seduction. Emblematic vintages such as Château Latour 1945, Château Latour 1961, Château Latour 1990, Château Latour 1996, Château Latour 2000 or Château Latour 2009 illustrate the estate's ability to consistently express the excellence of the Pauillac terroir and the singularity of its style.
