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 tradition in Bordeaux says that vines that overlook the water make the best w...

Wine Information

The weather conditions in 1947
This was a very good year in terms of quality and also very good as regards volume. It was also a year when cochylis and eudemis caused great damage. Very ripe grapes, very high degrees. Low acidity. This led to difficulties with vinification.

Vintage quality and tasting comments
A very commercial wine which matured rapidly but has proved very long-lived. Color is still not showing to much of age, tar and ch...

Vuosikerta 1947

Where the 1945 represents sophistication, nuance and classic character, the 1947 is all about richness, robustness and succulence. Spring was delayed that year, which meant a late start to the growing season. Summer warmed up toward the autumn and the abundant sunshine ripened the grapes very quickly. Daytime temperatures ranged between 35-38° C. The crop was finally harvested in nearly tropical conditions, when a thunderstorm ravaged Bordeaux...

It was time to get serious with some red, red wine. The first red had a great, old nose with the cobwebs, dust and leather, but still fragrance to its fruit. Sweet black cherry, cassis, a pinch of animal and an almost Asian, spicy glaze were all there in this alive and complex nose. Caramel started oozing out, along with some sautéed green beans. The palate was a bit simpler, ‘volatile’ per Wolf, who still conceded ‘beautiful sweetness,’ a ‘the sweetness of death.’ The palate was honeyed with hints of raisin and fig, round and fleshy without the flesh, lush without being chewy. It was soft, tender and caressing in the mouth, with dusty flavors of candle wax and walnuts. The intensity factor wasn’t much, but the beauty was still there in this magnum of 1947 Latour, and that is that ‘sweetness of death’ to which Wolf earlier referred (92M).

This wine aged quickly but has remained drinkable for a long time. The colour is still not too evolved. Bouquet of tar and chocolate, good structure and fine balance maintained by excellent acidity.

Medium garnet. Flowers, violets, cedar, sweet roasted herbs. A Latour that I can inhale throughout the evening and be absolutely content. The nose is seductiv, spicy and complex. The wonderful bouquet of flavours carries through on the palate with amazing depth and the finish is very long. The wine beguiles by evolving and changing by the minute in the glass. A multi-dimensional beauty, one with charm as well as grace. A perfect wine from a perfect bottle, ex-chateau.

Upper shoulder fill. Bright ruby, orange rim. Slightly floral, scented, some spices, red berries nose. With air, leather, black tea, nuanced scented and anise. Lean and dry palate, drying. With air, (two hours open and about twenty minutes in a narrow carafe), more cherries and plum stones, red berries, fuller body, if never full, long. 95

Medium intense, dark colour. Pronounced, smoky and complex nose with blackcurrants, burnt wood, and toastiness – still very refined and elegant. Med-bodied palate shows moderate level of acidity which is pushed firmer by the minerality. The tannins are very apparent even tough. The fruitiness is still there with dried black fruit flavours. The aftertaste is crisp, minty and energetic. Decant for 45 minutes and serve at 17C with Entrecote, haricot verts with bacon and fries.
