Description
Les Forts de Latour is the second wine of the renowned Château Latour estate. It reflects the same attention to detail, depth, and structure that define the Grand Vin.
The grapes are sourced from carefully selected plots within the Pauillac appellation, including some parcels that are occasionally used for the estate’s top wine. The bouquet reveals aromas of blackberries, red berries, cedar, tobacco, and well-integrated spice.
Tasting notes
“The 2010 Les Forts de Latour has a compelling bouquet with intense black fruit, black tea, graphite and subtle earthy aromas. There is wonderful precision here and it is amazingly well focused. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, a killer line of acidity, fanning out with confidence and chutzpah towards the finish that conveys an unerring sense of symmetry. What a fantastic 2010 Pauillac that will give decades of drinking pleasure.”
