TASTING NOTES

A beautifully intense crimson colour. The nose is fresh and lavishly expressive of ripe fruit. Whilst retaining some structure, the wine is smooth and gourmet in the mouth. The finale is fresh and clean.

VINEYARDS

Chateau Latour is one of the oldest continuous Bordeaux wine producing properties in the Pauillac appellation with a history dating all the way back to 14th century! The estate takes its name from the original Saint-Lambert tower placed close to the chateau that was created in the second half of the 14th century. Historical documents show, on October 18, 1331, Pons, the Seigneur of Castillon, allowed one of the most prosperous families in the Medoc to create a fortress in area of Saint-Lambert. They were responsible for erecting the original tower that the estate is named for today.
