Château Latour: On Top Form

Nick Jackson, MW Consultant | May 15, 2023

What can one say about Château Latour? Even among Bordeaux’s First Growth properties, it is a hallowed name, revered by wine lovers for its sumptuous, velvety fruit, its deep, cedary nose and eternal finish. But in the past couple of decades, the château has improved yet further, with more consistency between vintages and careful tannin management to ensure drinkability from a much earlier stage than in previous eras.

For that reason, I have no hesitation in recommending vintages such as 2008, 2009, or 2013 to drink today. These wines will develop greater complexity with further bottle age, but they are already so complete and delicious it is hard to keep your hands off them. Château Latour is on top form across all its wines at present – taste and see for yourself.
