Château Latour is one of Bordeaux's – and the world's – most famous wine producers. It is situated in the southeast corner of the Pauillac commune on the border of Saint-Julien, in the Médoc region. Rated as a First Growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, it has become one of the most sought-after and expensive wine producers on the planet, and produces powerfully structured Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant wines capable of lasting many decades.
The site has been occupied since 1331, with a fort and garrison to guard the estuary. Several smallholdings began to grow vines, and wine from the site gained recognition from Montaigne as early as the 16th Century. The original tower no longer exists; the famous tower featured on the label was designed as a pigeon roost and built around 1620.

| Antonio Galloni Rating | 92 AG - Having read about my encounter with the 1951 Latour in Vinous Table, Frédéric Engerer cracked open a second bottle at the property just a few months later. Interestingly, this comes across a little tighter than the previous bottle, cedar and freshly-rolled tobacco emerging with time, perhaps more tertiary in style. The palate is well-balanced with fine tannins, a bit coarser than expected, though with a similar finish that offers marvelous depth considering the growing season. A victorious Latour when the odds were against it. |
