100/100 Parker: legendary vintage
- Tasting : Lisa Perrotti-Brown
- When to drink this wine ? 2025 - 2070
- Opinion : " Château Latour's 2016 grand vin is stunning - the perfect embodiment of the estate's paradoxical signature of breathtaking power with bewitching perfume and great finesse: the iron fist of Bordeaux in a velvet glove. Deep purple-black in colour, the nose of the Latour 2016 is rather closed at first, but slowly unfolds to reveal chocolate-covered cherries, liquorice, red roses and violets with Indian spices, blueberry compote, blackcurrant cordial and cigar box, as well as hints of pencil lead and iron ore. Medium to full-bodied, the mid-palate explodes with densely packed black fruits and tons of earthy, mineral and spice accents, with a super-ripe, fine-grained frame and seamless freshness, finishing very long and seductively fragrant..."
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.
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.
