ABOUT THE WINE


Château Latour Pauillac is one of the most prestigious and renowned wine estates in the world, located in the Pauillac appellation of the Médoc region in Bordeaux, France. Classified as a First Growth (Premier Grand Cru Classé) in the historic 1855 Bordeaux Classification, it is celebrated for producing powerful, structured, and long-lived red wines that are considered benchmarks of Bordeaux excellence. The 2011 Château Latour is composed of 84.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, and 0.5% Petit Verdot. The high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon is typical of Latour’s style, drawing primarily from the old vines of the 47-hectare Enclos vineyard.


TASTING NOTE:


The 2011 Château Latour is a wine of finesse and structure, showcasing the estate’s signature style despite the vintage’s challenges. Deep ruby with a garnet edge, showing early signs of maturity by 2025. Elegant and restrained, with blackberry, cassis, and plum notes, alongside graphite, wet stone, violets, and a touch of spice from the oak. There’s also a subtle earthy undertone emerging with age. Medium to full-bodied, with firm, fine-grained tannins, bright acidity, and a core of concentrated fruit. It’s less opulent than a vintage like 2005 but offers a refined balance of power and precision, finishing with minerality and a lingering, slightly austere edge. The 2011 is beginning to open up but remains youthful. It benefits from 2-3 hours of decanting if consumed now, revealing more complexity, though it’s still a few years from its optimal drinking window.
