Grand Vin de Château Latour

The grapes come exclusively from the 47-hectare Enclos near the Gironde, on a gravelly hill particularly suited to Cabernet Sauvignon. The vintage was shaped by a cool, wet spring and a warm, dry summer with moderate water stress. The wine is full-bodied, precise and savoury, with deep fruit, supporting acidity and an elegant, firm tannic structure. It first matured for around one year and then for a further ten to thirteen months in French oak barrels; the barrels are renewed annually for the Grand Vin. Extended bottle ageing at the estate underlines its ageing potential.
