Chateau Latour 2005 marries immense power with remarkable precision, layering dense blackcurrant and plum fruit over graphite, cedar and warm earth, all wrapped in an exquisitely fine yet imposing frame of tannin. The palate is deep and compact yet perfectly proportioned, with great freshness and a long, resonant finish that promises decades of graceful evolution. A benchmark Latour that captures the grandeur and structure of this legendary vintage.

Château Latour is the iconic Grand Vin of the First Growth estate in Pauillac, crafted almost entirely from old Cabernet Sauvignon‑dominant vines in the famed l’Enclos parcel overlooking the Gironde. Renowned for its immense structure, longevity, and precision, it typically blends Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, expressing the powerful yet refined character of Médoc’s deep gravel terroir.
