The estate and the wine |
|
|
Château Latour, a majestic Pauillac estate, holds a distinguished place among the Classified Growths. Renowned for its exceptional consistency, this First Growth is at the pinnacle of its craft each year, continually pushing the boundaries of refinement and excellence. Having stepped away from the Bordeaux Futures system, the estate opts not to market its young wines like its counterparts. Instead, it ages them on-site, releasing them only when they've reached maturity.
Under the stewardship of François Pinault, its owner, and Frédéric Engerer, its general manager, the estate is committed to releasing its wines at the most opportune moments. This approach, combined with its excellence and biodynamic practices, cultivates a truly unique tradition. |

The 2017 Château Latour continues the legacy of exceptional Bordeaux wines! Dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, it features characteristic notes of black cherry, cassis, and graphite that epitomize the Pauillac region.
