The Story

The chateau makes three different wines. The so-called grand vin, that is Château Latour itself, a second wine called Les Forts de Latour and a third wine simply called Pauillac. The grand vin comes from the original part of the vineyards, called the Enclos. This is the most prestigious part of the vineyard where the vines have a fine view of the Gironde estuary.

The 1942 Latour was also outstanding. A recent outstanding 1941 DRC Richebourg and memories of numerous, great 1942 La Taches made me think this pair of vintages could be two of the forgotten greats. Let’s not forget legends like 1941 Unico in Spain and Inglenook in California, I think it might even have been great in Piedmont as well. Perhaps 1941 is the greatest forgotten vintage of the 20th Century? Back to the 1942…it was much grapier in its nose, in a good way. Its nose was creamy, sexy and exciting with its honeyed, sweet and flamboyant fruit. Surely this had to be from decades later? There was musky t ‘n a in the nose, which also became leathery, adding aromas of bread crust fresh from the oven. The palate was rich and sweet, chewy and fresh, with a gritty and dusty finish. This was another Latour whose freshness made it seem much younger than it was (95).
