The force and vitality of Château Latour’s wines allows them to age gracefully for decades in exceptional vintages. The bouquet and first impressions on tasting evolve with time, getting more complex and eventually reaching a peak, after which the tannins soften and the wine begins to decline. These wines can elicit intense emotions and unforgettable moments in addition to the pleasure of drinking them.

According to Simon Staples, Berrys’ Fine Wine Director of Berry Bros. & Rudd, wine and spirits merchant, UK “Heavenly aromas of sweet black cherry and blackberry, with a mere waft of creamy vanilla. Fabulous dense and rich with a huge mouth feel to it. Taut and firm but also sexy and alluring. This is profound and I think rivals some of the modern greats of Latour.”

Chateau Latour’s history may be traced back to the 14th century, however the vineyards for which it is today famous were not properly developed until the 17th century.
