Latour 2017 glides between power and grace, layering pure cassis and dark berry fruit with graphite, cedar and a cool, stony edge. The palate feels composed and restrained rather than massive—silky but tightly woven tannins, vivid acidity and a persistent, mineral-driven finish suggest a grand, classically styled Pauillac that is unusually approachable in youth yet built for the long haul. It’s an elegant, finely etched Latour that showcases the finesse of the vintage more than sheer weight.

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.
