Pauillac - Premier Grand Cru Classé

96/100 Parker

"A beauty, the opaque dense purple-colored 1995 exhibits jammy cassis, vanillin, and minerals in its fragrant but still youthful aromatics. Medium to full-bodied, with exceptional purity, superb concentration, and a long, intense, ripe, 40-second finish, this is a magnificent example of Latour. As the wine sat in the glass, scents of roasted espresso and toasty new oak emerged. This classic will require considerable cellaring." To be drunk until 2050. 

 TERROIR

The majority of Château Latour's vineyards are located on gravelly hilltops overlooking the Gironde estuary from 12 to 16 meters. The fortunate combination of "Gironde, layers of gravel on the surface and clay in depth" offers the terroir of Château Latour a singularity that few sites can boast.

The 2015 vintage is composed of 97.1% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2.6% Merlot and 0.3% Petit Verdot.

 SERVICE 

Château Latour is served at a temperature of 15°C, in a red wine glass of the "Bordeaux" type. The ideal quantity is 15 cl. To control the temperature of the wine you can use a wine thermometer. Simply plunge it into a glass filled to 1/3 of the wine to be served.

 FOOD AND WINE PAIRING

Château Latour can be served with aperitifs, starters, main courses or cheeses. It will accompany for example a nice piece of grilled beef but also mushrooms such as pancakes or truffled starters. For the cheese, prefer a cheese of character to counterbalance the tense perfumes of the nectar.
