  • Goedhuis, March 2022

    Deep opaque colour. An amazing intensity of dark currants and feeling of fresh vibrant Cabernet Sauvignon fruit. The first impression is of a silky undertone of fruit, before the structure and texture evolves and builds on the palate. An absolute star showing amongst the wines from this vintage, both en primeur and during the Southwold tastings, it has a controlled boldness and sweet herbal fruit characters. The tannins sit beautifully within the wine and the tremendous persistence on the finish completes a perfect example of this great first growth. This is a wine of huge stature.

    The 2014 Latour, which was bottled in July 2016, but of course will not be released for several years depending upon subsequent vintages, has a very pure, tightly-wound bouquet with blackberry fruit infused with black olive and graphite, just as it was out of barrel during en primeur. After several minutes, it is joined by subtle hints of pressed violets. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. This is very classic in style, exhibiting superb freshness and harmony, the texture perhaps a little silkier than I recollect from barrel. It fans out with a very attractive marine influence that it shares with its neighbor Léoville Las-Cases, whilst the persistence is very impressive and reinforces its First Growth pedigree. This should be a quintessential Latour once released: aristocratic and noble.

  • Antonio Galloni, January 2022, Score: 96

    The 2014 Latour captures the personality of the year in its linear, lithe construction. It's a decidedly understated Latour that is more about finesse than brawn. Bright red cherry/plum fruit, spice, mint and sweet tobacco open over time, but at this level, wines are more about a feel, an expression of place and a vintage. The 2014 Latour embodies all the best this cool, late-ripening growing season had to offer. I loved the 2014 when it was first shown, about five years ago, and I love it today. It is a super-classic Pauillac.

  • James Suckling, March 2022, Score: 99

    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.

  • Decanter, April 2015

    My Left Bank wine of the vintage. Superb cassis fruit from 89.9% Cabernet Sauvignon yet almost understated for Latour. Wonderful ripe texture and chalky tannins, the Latour soil showing more than the 'Latour style' of the past. Pure Cabernet over pure gravel, beautifully expressed. Drink: 2022-2050

  • Matthew Jukes, May 2015, Score: 19+

    This wine is not able to be purchased En Primeur which is a crying shame for all lovers of Latour. (89.9 Cabernet Sauvignon, 9.2 Merlot, 0.6 Petit Verdot, 0.3 Cabernet Franc – apologies for the decimal places – if I round them up or down they don’t look right nor do they add up for some reason). This is an absolutely scintillating Latour. It doesn’t matter from which angle you admire this wine because it is truly stunning, poised, balanced, calm and centred. There is none of the seething, repressed anger which often seems to preoccupy this wine. What we have is confidence, contentment and some of the deepest and most profound Cabernet flavours I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. After a very long, harvest and very controlled alcohol levels this wine manages to reveal classic Latour tannins pinned onto the end of this cool luge of Cabernet joy. This may well be a hybrid Latour with serious control and balance but there is no hiding their excitement at this oft-haughty Château. The delightful Hélène Génin, technical director of Château Latour, beamed from ear to ear when I asked her if she was proud of the wines. There is a delicacy here which she knows is very special indeed. I doubt that this is lost on anyone who tasted this wine this week.

  • Jancis Robinson, April 2015, Score: 18

    Much of this is biodynamic. This grand vin constitutes 34% of production. A blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc, 0.3% Petit Verdot! IPT 77. No press wine. Incredible depth of colour. More perfumed than usual for Latour. Maybe the biodynamic influence is kicking in. Different balance (see that of Palmer 2014 too). Racy and lifted and very different from the dense minerally style of old. Great balance and almost delicate. But not wimpy. Thanks to the feminine touch perhaps? Mineral underneath. Chewy but lifted and ethereal. Such energy! A most interesting wine. See its relatively low alcohol. 12.89% Drink 2025-2045

  • Tim Atkin, May 2015, Score: 98

    Will this prove to be a great Latour in years to come? I certainly think so. This is effortlessly concentrated, yet has less than 13% alcohol. Deeply coloured, aromatic, stylish and poised, it’s all graphite, violets, dark berries, red fruit and tapering palate length. Beautifully balanced. Drink: 2025-40

  • Wine Spectator, March 2015, Score: 96-99

    Dense, but remarkably silky in feel, with gorgeous raspberry and blackberry fruit embedded with anise, violet and iron notes. A terrific graphite spine drives the finish. Shows great energy throughout. This is all length and cut, with just a hint of classic Bordeaux austerity. The one first-growth in 2014 that feels like it could be from a cooler vintage. Tasted non-blind.

Château Latour

It is a common misconception that Château Latour was named after its cream-coloured tower - a 17th century edifice that served as a dovecote.

Unfortunately, it has long been eroded away. Château Latour's vines are planted on the gravel soil of Paulliac, most of them stand 12 to 16 metres above the Gironde Estuary. It can be considered the King of the First Growths, having the extraordinary power, structure and presence.Read less

Region

Pauillac

Due south of St Estèphe lies the appellation of Pauillac, the king of Left Bank communes. It is home to three first growths as well as a plethora of other classified growths. Pauillac's renowned well-draining, gravelly soils enable its dominant grape Cabernet Sauvignon to reach fantastic heights of complexity and concentration. As a result, Pauilac's wines tend to be full-bodied with compact tannins and good freshness. Its aromatics are often what one associates with classic Bordeaux: pencil shavings, black currant and occasional mint. Some of the most famous châteaux of the commune are Latour, Mouton Rothschild, Lafite Rothschild, Pichon Baron, Pichon Lalande and Lynch Bages.
