Château Latour is a monument at the image of the tower of the 17th century where it got its name from. In most appraisals of the wine-growing world, the five First Growth Châteaux of the famous 1855 Bordeaux Classification are placed among the very Best in the World. Of those, one of the most highly regarded in terms of consistency of its red wines is Château Latour. It is located at the very southeastern tip of the commune of Pauillac, in the famous Medoc wine region, about 40 kilometers north-west of the city of Bordeaux and only a few hundred meters from the banks of the Garonne estuary.Château Latour produces virile, firm and tannic wine which must be aged. One of Bordeaux's most concentrated rich and full-bodied. Latour is dark ruby in color and has a unique bouquet of fresh walnuts, leather, and black currents. The wine produced at Château Latour has been an impeccable and classic model of consistent excellence, both in great, mediocre and poor vintages.
The Château makes three principal wines, all red; in addition to its world famous 'Grand Vin de Château Latour', it has produced 'Les Forts de Latour' since 1966, and since 1990 a third simply labeled 'Pauillac'.
Have you get their collection yet ? Here was their Top Vintages of the wines : 1949, 1961, 1982, 1996, 2000, 2003 & 2005.
