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...

Written Notes

Tasted in November 2021. It was a typical cool climate Bordeaux wine and for this property as well. Concentrated and tight, powerful tannins, with great structure and complexity. Big aftertaste. This wine has many years to go.

When tasted, the Chateau Latour 2014 expresses on the nose a generous aromatic palette, characterised by plenty of black fruits (blackberries), along with woody and empyreumatic notes (tobacco). On the palate, this Bordeaux red wine presents fine tannins and perfect acidity (indicating a grand potential to age). On the finish, it is remarkably intense, precise and extremely long.

2014 Latour - Fleshy, ripe, concentrated and long, with refined tannins, lush textures, depth and layers of sweet, ripe, dense, juicy berries, the wine promises and delivers purity, length, richness and a serious, age worthy, vibrant character. If I can afford it when it comes up for sale, I’d buy it! Using 89.9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9.2% Merlot, 0.6 Cabernet Franc and .03 Petit Verdot that reached 12.89% alcohol, the Grand Vin represented 33.9% of the production. 95-97 Pts
