Over het wijnhuis | “When everybody else failed, Château Latour still came up with a decent wine”, schrijft Oz Clarke in zijn boek ‘Bordeaux - the wines, the vineyards and the winemakers’. Als student kon hij zich een groot jaar niet veroorloven, dus begon hij met de mindere jaren. En dat pakte goed uit. Niet verwonderlijk, want Latour behoort uiteraard tot de vijf Premiers Grands Crus Classés van de Médoc. |

Awards | "The 2018 Le Pauillac de Château Latour is a blend of 56.9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30.8% Merlot and 12.3% Petit Verdot. It has 14.1% alcohol and an IPT (total polyphenol index) of 76. Deep garnet-purple colored, it leaps from the glass with bold notes of black cherries, black raspberries and dark chocolate giving way to notions of blackcurrant pastilles, potpourri and cinnamon toast. Medium-bodied, elegant and refreshing with plush tannins and loads of mineral sparks accenting the fruits, it finishes with a skip in its step." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Firm, very silky and driven with blackberry and currant. Medium to full body, chewy texture and a lightly austere finish. Chewy and polished third wine of Latour." - James Suckling "56.9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30.8% Merlot, 12.3% Petit Verdot. 21% of production. Barrel sample. Black core and purple rim. Lightly stony cassis, scented and pure. Dry, dense and chocolate-textured tannins. A bit of a curtain of tannin but the fruit seeps round the edges. Generous fruit and open apart from the tannin framework. Sweet fruited on the finish. (JH) - Jancis Robinson "This has a lovely feel, with a mix of graphite and velvet textures carrying dark plum, warmed cassis and cherry reduction notes along. Flashes of alder, licorice and warm earth peek in throughout. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2032." - Wine Spectator "Still knitted down but this has flexible tannins with a real whoosh of freshness underneath. There is a feeling of sinew through the wine, and it shows both character and finesse. There is balance and depth to the brambly fruits, and altogether showing better than it did en primeur, likely to be released in 2023. A yield of 24hl/ha with 21% of production going into this wine." - Decanter |
