Les Forts de Latour is the second wine of the prestigious Château Latour, renowned for its elegance, strong tannic structure, and aging potential. It offers a powerful and distinguished style, blending notes of blackcurrant, graphite, and spice, in a fine and deep structure.

Les Forts de Latour, the second wine of Château Latour, one of the five Premiers Crus in the 1855 classification, is made from grapes with a triple origin. First, there are the estate’s young vines, whether entire plots or planted vines. Then there are the vines located outside the Enclos – the 47 hectares surrounding the château – and which are found, among other places, on prestigious terroirs such as Petit Batailley or Comtesse de Lalande. Finally, there are the vats from the Enclos and not used for the first wine.

Vinification and aging are the same as for the Grand Vin, with two major differences: here, the barrels are half new, and Merlot is more present, at 25 to 30% alongside the Cabernet Sauvignon.

This wine embodies all the elegance of this legendary estate, with density, depth, breadth, and integrity. A very accessible second wine that offers a glimpse of its elder.
