- Expert tasting note: "Deep, dark ruby-red in color is almost opaque. The aromas are of rich, ripe, chocolatey, high-toned, black-cherry & blackberry fruit. There are vivid graphite & cedar notes (lead pencils) on the nose & a hint of mushroom. Dense, chocolatey black-fruit on the palate has a velvety smoothness and there is balanced acidity. Currently the fruit on the complex mid-palate is closed up by drying tannins. Alcohol is in balance & the finish is long, lean & cedary." - 11/99 DCAMW

About the Product

Region or Appellation: Pauillac

Medoc / Bordeaux / France
Classification: 1er Grand Cru Classé
Producer Notes: Château Latour’s Grand Vin is made exclusively from “vieilles vignes”, an average of 60 years-old, in the Enclos. Gravettes, Sarmentier, Pièce de Château... these are the names of some of the finest plots that express the character of the terroir and forge the wine’s identity every year.
Drinking Window: 2001-2035

Analytical Data

Alcohol ABV: 12.5 - 14.3%
Sweetness: Dry
Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot

Production Attributes

Maturation: Oaked
Oak Type: French
Winemaker: Hélène Genin
Ownership: Groupe Artémis S.A.
Harvest date: 13 September - 27 September
Closure Type: Cork
Vineyard Notes: The heart of the Enclos is the only terroir that, every year, can produce the depth, elegance and concentration that we expect of the Grand Vin. It is here that the Cabernet Sauvignon (accounting for more than 90% of the blend) can achieve optimal expression in terms of colour, richness and freshness. These wines need time - often a decade- before they begin to be ready for drinking.

96 / 100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

1995 Vintage Tasted: Jul 2022

It has been close to a decade since I last this wine. The time in the cellar has added a lot here. Still youthful, some secondary characteristics have started appearing. Now you find cigar wrapper, creme de cassis, oyster shell, smoke, forest floor, cranberry, and red plums. Full-bodied, powerful, tannic, and with a gentle austerity, there is a firmness in the finish that works perfectly with all the layers of ripe, crisp, red berries. 2 hours in the decanter works well here. Drink from 2025-2065.

Sattes Rubin; nach Rauch und Haselnüssen, dahinter schöne Frucht; sehr schöne, feste Tannine, lange anhaltend, im Finale warm und feurig.

1995 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2004

(2004) Tasted blind for Wine magazine. Rich raisin nose with black cherry & chocolate notes. Great extraction on the palate - this is the most fleshy Latour I have tasted. Approachable - smooth tannins. Lovely generous wine. Could be drunk now. Mouton is possibly better. Less structured than expected. Drink 2-3 yrs.
