Château Latour stands among Bordeaux’s greatest names, revered for crafting wines of legendary power, finesse, and longevity. But to truly understand Latour’s prestige, you don’t need to splurge on its Grand Vin. The estate’s "Le Pauillac de Latour" offers a pure glimpse of Latour’s iconic terroir, the gravelly soils just off the Gironde River, where Cabernet Sauvignon achieves an almost unmatched intensity and structure.
Pauillac, in Bordeaux’s Médoc region, is Cabernet Sauvignon’s ancestral homeland—a place where centuries of tradition have shaped the way we think about this grape. Pauillac delivers a structured, classically proportioned Cabernet, emphasizing firm tannins, earthy complexity, and a deep sense of place.
The 2019 vintage was outstanding in Bordeaux, Le Pauillac captures the essence of Pauillac terroir—gravelly soils that give Cabernet remarkable depth, structure, and the potential for graceful aging, though lighter tannic extraction allows for earlier drinking than the Grand Vin.
