Château Latour 1st Grand Cru Classé 2005, 0.75
Description
The history of Château Latour dates back at least to the 14th century, although the vineyards for which it is now world-renowned were not fully established until the 17th century. The estate is located at the southern end of Pauillac, bordering the vineyards of the Saint-Julien appellation and Château Léoville Las Cases, and covers 78 hectares. Following a period under English ownership by the famous Pearson Group, owners of the Financial Times and Harveys of Bristol, the property was sold to Allied Lyons in 1989 and subsequently acquired in 1993 by French billionaire industrialist François Pinault, whose empire includes Yves Saint Laurent, Gucci, and the auction house Christie's. He delegated day-to-day control of the estate and its wines to his dynamic president, Frédéric Engerer, under whose leadership a major investment program has been implemented, elevating Château Latour to an undisputed prime position in Bordeaux's wine hierarchy. Château Latour was classified as a 1st Grand Cru Classé from the Médoc in 1855. As one might expect, Cabernet Sauvignon dominates the Pauillac appellation, accounting for 80% of the vineyard, with the remaining three varieties being Merlot (18%), Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot.
Vinification is strictly controlled, with stringent selection of only the ripest grapes and with separate vats for each vineyard plot. Three weeks of maceration are followed by malolactic fermentation in tanks, before the wine chosen to become Château Latour is aged in 100% new barrels. The wine's style is powerful, structured, and captivating, and for many, it is the most consistent producer among the five first growths over the past century, having garnered an enviable reputation for exceptional wine even in more challenging vintages. It has great aging potential, with the best vintages lasting over a century.
