Château Latour is one of the oldest Bordeaux wine producing properties in the appellation of Pauillac and has a history dating back to the 14th Century. It was classified as a First Growth in 1855 and is widely regarded as one of the most consistent of all the elite châteaux, with a reputation for wines of remarkable longevity. The 1966 is a legendary wine from an iconic vintage that has continued to impress over its incredibly long life and, despite its maturity, should still be exceptional to drink.

Vinous
The 1966 Latour has been one of my favorite vintages from the decade for many years. This is one of the finest examples that I have encountered. The bouquet is captivating: blackberry, pencil box, touches of blue fruit, exquisite delineation and focus, gaining stature with every swirl. The palate is typically 1966, sturdy and structured, though time has softened those tannins, making it a little less aloof than a decade ago. There is unerring symmetry to this Latour with a detailed, classically styled, off-dry finish that beckons you back for more. Neal Martin25th October 2024

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.
