Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

An incredible wine in every way, the 2009 Château Latour displays the ripe, sexy style of the vintage while still offering classic Latour power, density, and regalness. Currants, spicy wood, smoked tobacco, graphite, and ample minerality all define the bouquet, and it's full-bodied, with incredible density, perfectly integrated, ripe, polished tannins, and a finish that leaves no doubt about the insane quality of this wine. Based on 91.3% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8.7% Merlot, and checking in at 13.7% alcohol, it's drinking brilliantly today given its incredible texture and balance, and I suspect it has another 50-60 years of prime drinking. This is as good a Bordeaux as I've had and is as good as wine gets.

About the Producer

Château Latour, Premier Cru Classé of Pauillac, is much more than a name: it is an emblem of the Médoc. Its history is written in the stones of its tower, a remnant of an era when it guided ships along the Gironde. Long owned by the de Ségur family, including the famous "Prince of Vines," the estate has traversed the centuries while maintaining its prestige. Today, under the impetus of François Pinault and his passionate teams, Château Latour continues to write the history of the great wines of Bordeaux. Its 47-hectare vineyard, located in the heart of the "Enclos," produces wines of rare depth and complexity. The powerful tannic structure, the signature of this grand cru, gives it a remarkable capacity for aging. One finds in Latour wines aromas of blackcurrant, leather, and hazelnut—testaments to a unique terroir. In addition to its illustrious Premier Grand Cru Classé, the estate also offers Les Forts de Latour, a second wine of great elegance, as well as Le Pauillac de Latour, a more accessible expression of the Latour style. The estate works notably with appellations such as Premiers Crus, which consistently extend its signature.
