"One of the perfect wines of the vintage, Frederic Engerer challenged me when I tasted the 2010 Latour at the estate, asking, 'If you rate the 2009 one hundred, then how can this not be higher?' Well, the scoring system stops at 100, (and has for 34 years,) and will continue for as long as I continue to write about wine. Nevertheless, this blend of 90.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9.5% Merlot, and .5% Petit Verdot hit 14.4% natural alcohol and represents a tiny 36% of their entire production. The pH is about 3.6, which is normal compared to the 3.8 pH of the 2009, that wine being slightly lower in alcohol, hence the combination that makes it more flamboyant and accessible. The 2010 is a liquid skyscraper in the mouth, building layers upon layers of extravagant, if not over-the-top richness with its hints of subtle charcoal, truffle, blackberry, cassis, espresso and notes of toast and graphite. Full-bodied, with wonderfully sweet tannin, it is a mind-boggling, prodigious achievement that should hit its prime in about 15 years, and last for 50 to 100." - Review by Robert Parker

Product Details

The vineyard of Château Latour consists of 78 hectares of cultivated land. The 47 hectares closest to the château are called “Enclos”. For the people of Bordeaux, this is the best piece of terroir in the entire region. The deep gravel and clay provide power, grace and depth to the Latour wines.

In 1331, a fortress was ordered to be built on the land where Château Latour now stands. The château owes its name to the remaining Saint-Lambert tower (“la tour”, literally the tower). In 1718, thanks to Marquis Nicolas-Alexandre de Segur, the history of Château Latour begins. More so, from 1718 to 1720 the Segur family owned three of the five best châteaux of Bordeaux (Latour, Lafite and the château that later became known as Mouton Rothschild).

Château Latour has been in the hands of François Pinault and his company Groupe Artemis since 1993. In 1995, Pinault approached wine expert Frederic Engerer to take on the management of the vineyard. Under Engerer’s leadership, Château Latour developed into an absolute top level wine. Investments were made in the renovation of the wine cellar and barrel room, creating more opportunities to perfect the wine on a smaller scale.

The 100% organic wine likes to mature in order to release a powerful, concentrated and pure taste. This makes Latour the most masculine wine among the Premier Grand Cru wines. The taste is characterized by fruit, refined tannins, layers of blackcurrant, earthy tones, truffle, spices and tobacco. In the past 100 years, the quality has been very constant and it can proudly wear the label “most consistent Premier Grand Cru wine”.
