Les FORTS de LATOUR
Second wine from Château Latour
- 2014
- Pauillac
The young vines of Latour being reserved for the simple 'Pauillac' of the estate, the second wine, Les Forts de Latour, can be qualified as a great wine in its own right, coming from the plots of land outside the enclosure of Château Latour.
The 2014 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - April 2020): 93/100 “This is clearly a ready-to-drink Les Forts de Latour, though there's enough depth to suggest it will give 15 years of pleasure, maybe more. Suave and surprisingly round for a 2014.”
- To keep or to drink :
- Wait 1 to 2 years

The 2009 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - March 2018): 91/100 “The palate is clean and fresh with very fine, almost nervous tannins. The precision here is undeniable, a taut Les Forts de Latour that like many 2012s has blossomed during its bottle ageing. A touch of Pauillac mint appears on the finish.”
