Description

Les Forts de Latour takes its name from an historic plot in the « Enclos ». The wine was first labelled with this name in 1966 and constant work on developing its quality has resulted in its achieving the level of a Médoc Grand Cru Classé.

Both in the vineyard and in the cellar, Les Forts de Latour is aged with the same care as the Grand Vin. The only notable difference, apart from its origin, is the proportion of new barrels - between 50 and 60% - used for its ageing.the blend of Les Forts de Latour may vary from one year to the next, but there is a higher proportion of Merlot (25 to 30%) compared to the proportions found in the Grand Vin.

Tasting

Great concentration and a previously unseen quantity of tannins characterized the wines, which possessed extraordinary aromatic intensity, freshness and precision. Rich, ripe and mineral, with a very long, lingering finish. An exceptional year which will improve for many years to come.
