Chateau Latour Pauillac

Chateau Latour Pauillac - Eine Legende lebt.
Chateau Latour ist und bleibt der Urmeter des Bordeaux. Bis Ende des 16. Jahrhunderts noch nicht vollständig von Weinreben bedeckt und produzierte dennoch übermäßig viel Wein. Die Familie Mullet besaß das Anwesen bis zum Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts. Alexandre de Ségur erwarb das Château Latour, das zur Weingeschichte der Familie wurde. Nicolas-Alexandre, der später „Prinz der Weinreben“ genannt wurde, erweiterte die Ländereien 1718 um Grundstücke aus Mouton und Calon.

Während der Revolution blieb das Weingut im Besitz derselben Familie und war bis 1962 eine Société Civile. Das einzigartige Terroir des Anwesens erhielt die Einstufung „First Growth“ oder „Premier Cru“. Einen Status dem nur noch Mouton Rothschild, Haut Brion, Margaux und Lafite Rothschild bekommen haben. Im Laufe der Zeit führte die große Zahl der Erben zum Verkauf der meisten Anteile, wobei Pearson Mehrheitsaktionär wurde und Harveys of Bristol einen Anteil von 25 % erwarb. 1989 kaufte Allied Lyons Pearson und hielt 93 % der Anteile, während die restlichen 7 % im Besitz der Familie Ségur blieben. Große Investitionen in den 2000 Jahren garantieren eine dramatisch gute Zukunft und historische Jahrgänge wie 1928,29,45,59,61,82,90,96 etc. belegen eine gloreiche Vergangenheit.

Chateau Latour 2015 Pauillac 1er GCC

RENE GABRIEL:
Der Cabernet Franc wurde deklassiert. 30 % der Produktion ergab Grand Vin. Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Würziges Bouquet, tintige Anflüge und deutlich florale Noten, nicht so reserviert wie der Les Forts de Latour, aber auch nicht unbedingt kommunikativ. Im Gaumen zeigt er dann fraglos Grösse, schwarzer Pfeffer, Pumpernickelbrot, Heidelbeeren und Cassis, die Adstringenz ist verlangend, er zeigt aber auch eine schier feminine Noblesse, nachhaltig, mit mittlerem Druck. Wenn man Latour auf dem Etikett liest und den Jahrgang 2015 vor sich hat, dann erfüllt er vielleicht (momentan) nicht ganz die Erwartungen. Man hat hier aber auch das positive Gefühl, dass er in seiner Evolution noch rückständig ist und sicherlich noch zulegen kann/könnte. 19/20 2026 – 2060

William Kelley beschreibt den Wein wie folgt:
Blended of 97.1% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2.6% Merlot and 0.3% Petit Verdot, the deep garnet-purple colored 2015 Latour is exquisitely perfumed, displaying fragrant notes of crushed black cherries, raspberry preserves, cassis and black plums with nuances of roses, dark chocolate, garrigue, menthol and a waft of sandalwood. The medium-bodied palate beautifully struts its taut, toned, muscular fruit with a frame of very firm, smooth, rounded tannins and compelling freshness, finishing with alluring earth and mineral layers. At once intellectual and sexy, this truly evocative vintage brings to mind the Melanie Griffith line from “Working Girl," possessing a sultry “head for business and a bod for sin.

James Suckling Februar 2018:
Aromas of iron, oyster shell, rust and stones with blueberries and blackberries. Full-bodied, yet ever so polished and refined. It rolls off the palate with fruit and salty flavors. Tight, focused and always refined. Pretty length. 97% cabernet sauvignon gives this brightness. Drink in 2022.

97 Punkte vom Wine Spectator für den Chateau Latour 2015 Pauillac 1er GCC

Der Wine Spectator beschreibt den Wein wie folgt:
This packs some serious warm dark currant, fig and blackberry compote flavors together at the core, with charcoal, singed bay leaf, tobacco and roasted alder notes forming the foundation. Grippy for sure, but there's already alluring perfume and violet elements weaving around here. This has put on some serious weight and dark fruit since the barrel tasting, but remains all tensile strength. It will be fun to watch this age. Best from 2025 through 2045

Chateau Latour 2014 Pauillac 1er GCC

Jeb Dunnuck 30.11.2017:
Deeper, richer, more concentrated, and stately than the Les Forts De Latour, the 2014 Château Latour is the wine of the vintage from the Médoc. Possessing a flawless, full-bodied, sexy and surprisingly open style on the palate, it’s relatively closed aromatically and only reluctantly gives up notes of cassis, chocolate, and lead pencil shavings. With incredible tannin quality, a layered, concentrated mid-palate, perfect balance and a great finish, it’s a classic Latour, as well as one of the few 2014s that demands cellaring. Hide bottles for 5-7 years and I suspect it will continue drinking nicely over the following three decades.

William Kelley beschreibt den Wein wie folgt:
The 2014 Latour is one of the very finest wines of a vintage that favored the northern Médoc. Mingling aromas of wild berries and cassis with hints of cigar wrapper, loamy soil, black truffles and classy new oak, it’s full-bodied, rich and concentrated, its broad attack segueing into a deep, tightly wound mid-palate that’s framed by powdery, chalky tannins and bright acids, concluding with a long, mouthwatering finish. This classically balanced, youthfully structured young wine looks set to enjoy prodigious longevity. It’s reminiscent of a modern-day version of a cooler vintage such as 1996, though of course these days maturity is more complete and selection even more rigorous than was the case two decades ago.

James Suckling 16.02.2017:
So much violets, licorice, pencil, flowers and currants define this on the nose before it moves to fresh mushrooms. It’s full-bodied yet compacted with tension and a compressed center palate. Incredible, fine-grained tannins and energy. The length is truly great. Should be even more beautiful in 2024. Give it time.

Les Forts de Latour Pauillac AOP 2016 Chateau Latour

James Suckling 02.04.2019:
The fresh currant and violet aromas are so complex and beautiful on the nose. Full body, ultra-refined tannins and lovely tannin tension. Shows focus and such finesse. Beautiful finish. Try after 2024.

:
The winner of the best second wine in the vintage goes to Château Latour. Their 2016 Les Forts de Latour is a match for just about anything out there. It shares its bigger siblings stature and class, with a sensational perfume of cedarwood, black currants, graphite, and lead pencil. Seamless, ultra-pure, and medium to full-bodied, it too needs a good 5-7 years of bottle age and will keep for 2-3 decades.

Lisa Perrotti Brown 30.11.2018:
The 2016 Les Forts de Latour is superb, unwinding in the glass with notions of blackcurrants, wild berries, sweet loamy soil, cigar wrapper and English walnuts. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it’s concentrated and tightly wound, with superb depth at the core, lively acids and ripe, powdery tannins. This is an impeccably balanced, utterly classical Forts de Latour worth a special effort to seek out.

Antonio Galloni:
The 2016 Les Forts de Latour is the clear highlight among these new releases from Latour. The first thing that is evident about the 2016 is the pedigree of the vintage. Undisputedly great. Readers will find a potent, dark Forts de Latour endowed with massive concentration and tons of depth. The 2016 won't be ready to drink anytime soon, but it holds tons of promise. Hints of gravel, sage, licorice and pencil shavings linger. The 2016 was impressive a few years ago. It is even better today.
