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
While the 2015 is sunny and powerful, the 2017 is more vibrant and nuanced. It's a wine that reflects the transition of the domaine towards a more precise and living-friendly viticulture (biodynamics). It is already considered by some critics as one of the Latour the most elegant and "digestible" of the decade.
