Chateau Latour Pauillac 2016

Château Latour is one of the original First Growths (Premier Grand Cru Classé) from the historic 1855 Bordeaux Classification, and widely considered among the most consistent and long-lived wines in the world. Located in Pauillac on the Left Bank, the estate’s core vineyard—L’Enclos—features deep gravel soils ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon. With a history dating back to the 14th century, Latour is renowned for producing wines of power, structure, and extraordinary aging potential, often evolving for decades. Today, the estate is also a leader in organic and biodynamic farming, reinforcing its focus on terroir expression and precision winemaking. 100 Points Jeb Dunnuck 100 Points James Suckling 100 Points Deanter 100 Points Vinous 98 Points Wine Spectator Notes: Deep, opaque ruby in color, with an intensely complex nose of blackcurrant, blackberry, and black cherry layered with graphite, pencil lead, tobacco, violets, and cocoa. On the palate, powerful yet impeccably structured, showing a dense core of dark fruit supported by firm, ultra-refined tannins and vibrant acidity. Flavors of cassis, plum, espresso, crushed stone, and mint unfold with remarkable precision and depth. The finish is exceptionally long, mineral-driven, and seamless, combining strength, elegance, and tension, with a structure built for decades of aging. Overall style: A monumental Pauillac, combining power, purity, and precision, and widely regarded as a benchmark for modern Bordeaux.
