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.
In great vintages, the power and energy of Château Latour's
wines enables them to continue to develop for several decades with ease. The
bouquet and impressions on tasting gradually evolve, becoming increasingly
complex, ultimately reaching a peak, after which the tannins soften and then
the wine slowly declines. Beyond the pleasure of drinking them, these wines can
produce powerful feelings and unforgettable moments.
Château Latour is also known for having the ability to produce fine wines even in difficult years. Château Latour is also known for having the ability to produce fine wines even in difficult years.
