The vineyard of Château Latour It covers 78 hectares, primarily planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. The vines are cultivated on Garonne gravel soils, which allow for optimal drainage and promote the ripening of the grapes. climat The region's oceanic climate, with its mild winters and sunny summers, contributes to the aromatic expression of the grape varieties. Vineyard management is meticulous, with particular attention paid to each plot to guarantee the quality of the grapes.
The team's opinion
A generous wine, with beautiful concentration and rare power. The nose reveals notes of black fruit, cedar, and spice, while on the palate it is full-bodied, dense, and well-balanced. The tannins are silky, and the finish is long.
