Chateau Latour is made from vines an average age of 50 years old (some are nearly a century old) on a 48-hectare part of the estate called L'Enclos. Vines are replaced individually rather than plot by plot, a system referred to as "complantation".
Latour's unique terroir is made up of large Günzian gravel with small pockets of clay. Château Latour has been a majestic wine for over three centuries. It is masculine, complex, concentrated, and very long. Unquestionably, Latour is the epitome of fine Médoc.
The style of Château Latour is straightforward and extremely distinguished with marvelous deep red fruit flavors and aristocratic tannin.
François Pinault acquired the estate from the British group, Pearson, in 1993. Most of the winemaking facilities were renovated in the early 2000s.
