Description

The cuvée is distinguished by its dark, vibrant color, and its nose offers a pure and aromatic expression of great intensity.
On the palate, it reveals a structure of rare finesse and elegance, supported by ripe fruit and a palette of rich, noble tannins with a silky texture. The finish is long and dense.
A simply exceptional vintage for this 2010 cuvée.

Know a bit more about the domain

Founded around 1680, the Château Latour vineyard is among the oldest in the Médoc. Located 50 km northwest of Bordeaux, near the Gironde estuary, it covers 92 hectares, divided between the historic terroir of L'Enclos and external plots. The grape varieties are dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot and small proportions of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.
For the past twenty years, the estate has been committed to reducing the use of phytosanitary products and obtained organic certification in 2015. Vinification follows a rigorous process and aging is done in French oak barrels, 100% new for the grand vin, 50% for the Forts de Latour, and 20% for the Pauillac.
A unique feature of the estate is that Château Latour no longer participates in the primeur wines. Pauillac is marketed after 4 to 6 years, Forts de Latour after 6 to 8 years, and the grand vin after 8 to 10 years, guaranteeing optimal development of each vintage.
