Château Latour is one of the oldest wine properties in the appellation of Pauillac and has a history dating back to the 14th century. Since 1993 the First Growth estate has been part of Artémis Domaines, which portfolio also includes Clos de Tart and Château Grillet. The 1973 vintage is now fully mature, offering complex tertiary aromas such as cigar, wood, wet cellar and a touch of chocolate. On the palate, there is a clear expression of sour-sweet cherries and blackcurrants, delivered with a very elegant, silky mouthfeel.

The 1973 Latour, gallantly poured from double magnum, displays a curious kidney bean, almost liver-like scent on the nose that is strangely attractive. The palate is medium-bodied, with big-boned tannin, a Latour that lacks grace with a dry, possibly very chaptalized finish, and yet not unattractive. Provenance and size of format are likely to have had their roles to play here. Tasted at a private dinner in Bordeaux. - Neil Martin

Chateau Latour

Situated on the Bordeaux's Left Bank in the appellation of Pauillac, this superb First Growth is produced from the estate's 92ha of vines, spread across 138 plots, (47 hectares of which are located in renowned 'L'Enclos'). The clay and gravel soils give superbly concentrated, textural Cabernet Sauvignon dominant reds, with Merlot and smaller percentages of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc making up the blend.

The estate also produces two further celebrated reds, Les Forts de Latour and Pauillac de Latour. Certified organic since 2018, biodynamic techniques are also used in the vineyard.
