Château Latour, situated in the heart of Pauillac, is one of Bordeaux's legendary Premier Grand Cru Classé estates. First produced under its dedicated label in 1966, Les Forts de Latour originates primarily from specific historical parcels within the estate and young vines of the Grand Vin. Crafted with the exact same rigorous precision and technical care as the Grand Vin, Les Forts de Latour consistently delivers quality that rivals top Classified Growths.
The 2019 vintage is a powerhouse expression released under Latour's late-release cellar policy six years after harvest. Combining 65.8% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31.9% Merlot, and 2.3% Petit Verdot aged in 70% new French oak, it showcases remarkable purity, broad-shouldered concentration, and fine-grained, linear tannins built for long-term cellaring.
