Château Latour 1999 presents a structured profile characteristic of its esteemed Pauillac origin. This vintage reveals intricate notes of dark berries, graphite and subtle herbal undertones, accompanied by layers of cedar and a gentle spiciness. On the palate, it exhibits a medium body with a refined mouthfeel, showcasing well-integrated tannins that reflect its age. The finish is persistent, hinting at continued development potential. Château Latour, one of Bordeaux’s First Growths, is known for its commitment to tradition and quality, with a legacy dating back to the 14th century.
92 Vinous
The 1999 Latour has a dark garnet color with little aging on the rim. The nose is closed initially and demands coaxing, eventually revealing blackberry, cedar and light pencil-shaving aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with soft tannins, displaying some secondary notes of clove, white pepper and a distinct earthiness that comes through on the finish.

A Towering First Growth

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.
