The vineyard of Château Latour It covers approximately 78 hectares, cultivated primarily with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The soil, composed of a mixture of clay and limestone, promotes optimal drainage, essential for the ripening of the grapes. climat The region's oceanic climate, with its hot summers and mild winters, allows for a slow and even ripening of the grapes, thus contributing to the concentration of aromas and the balance of the wine. Each plot is carefully chosen to express the quintessence of the Pauillac terroir.
The team's opinion
The 2012 vintage is often described as a "pleasure" or "charming" vintage. Although it retains the backbone of Latour, It reveals itself with greater immediate generosity. The 2012 vintage benefited from a very sunny end of summer, which allowed for perfect ripening of the Cabernet grapes.
