Les Forts de Latour 1994 is a red Bordeaux blend from the Pauillac appellation. This bottling represents the second wine of Château Latour, sourced from specific parcels that provide a refined and accessible expression of the estate`s terroir. The 1994 vintage produced a structured, classical wine of great power and depth, which has evolved into a complex, savoury expression. It shows a harmonious balance between the fruit core and the resolved tannins, offering a sophisticated finish of cedar, tobacco, graphite and blackcurrant. It is a balanced and expressive wine that shows its noble origins.

Vinous
Good medium color, with a slightly pale rim. Subdued blackcurrant, spice and cedar nose. Rather musclebound in the mouth and revealing little today, but fresh for the vintage. Finishes with ripe tannins and good length. Rather gently styled for this wine. This wine includes fruit from Latour's young vines, and, in '92 and '94, wine that was not considered strong enough to be bottled as Latour. Stephen Tanzer1st May 1996

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.
