Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

Classic Pauillac darker currants, smoky tobacco, spicy wood, damp earth, and graphite all define the 2019 Château Latour, a ripe and approachable Latour that has more accessibility than many vintages while still possessing quintessential Latour character and depth. Blended from 92.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot and aged 18 months in new French oak, it's medium to full-bodied with a round, layered mouthfeel, beautiful, almost velvety tannins, and a tremendous finish. I'd happily drink a bottle today (don't tell anyone), yet it's going to benefit from 5-7 years of bottle age and keep for 50 years or more in fine form. Drink 2031-2081.

About the Producer

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.
