Description
Located in the famous Medoc wine region, about 40 kilometers NW of Bordeaux, the vineyard of Chateau Latour belongs to the Pauillac appellation. The quality of its wine depends partly on the type of grape variety that is being used, but also on the exceptional combination of natural elements (geography, geology and climate) that constitutes its "Terroir." The reputation of Chateau Latour was confirmed in 1855, when the government of Napoleon III decided to classify the estates of the Medoc and the Graves for the International Exhibition in Paris: Chateau Latour was classified First Growth.
"Rich and round wine. Full-bodied, with very good fruit and long velvety tannins. Needs more time. Round and rich. This is always outstanding." (WS 94)
