A distinguished example of why Cabernet collectors adore the finest Bordeaux vintages, the 2018 edition of Latour’s Pauillac is already tantalizingly approachable and impressive! Dark fruit, plush tannins, notes of Cohiba cigar and espresso harmonize for a sublime experience that’s begging for a juicy steak. Savor every sip now (decant prior to 2025) through 2030. (May 2022)

Chateau Latour Pauillac Winery

At the beginning of the eighteenth century, Château Latour started to be highly
recognized around the world, thanks to the reconquest of the British market and the
development of the wine business in Northern Europe. The aristocracy and other
wealthy groups of consumers became very enthusiastic about a few great estates, of
which Latour was one. And that was how Thomas Jefferson, ambassador of the United
States in France, and future President, discovered this wine in 1787. At that time, a cask
of Château Latour was already worth twenty times as much as one of ordinary Bordeaux
wine.

The reputation of Château Latour was consolidated during the 19th century. It was
confirmed in 1855, when the government of Napoléon III decided to classify the growths
of the Médoc and the Graves for the International Exhibition in Paris: Château Latour
was classified as a First Growth. The existing château was built during this "Golden
Age", between 1862 and 1864.

Today, many connoisseurs consider Château Latour the most prized wine on Earth.
Over the last three decades, no château in Bordeaux has earned more 99-100 point
ratings than Château Latour, including Petrus, Margaux and both Rothschilds. Château
Latour’s flagship 'Grand Vin' often trades for $1,000 - $2,000 per bottle (enquire for
availability). That makes Chateau Latour Le Pauillac de Latour bottling a remarkable
opportunity for savvy collectors, because it’s designed in a more approachable style and
is available for far more approachable price. In 2013, the ownership of Château Latour
expanded their empire to include Araujo's Eisele Estate, arguably the most prized
vineyard in America and one of Napa Valley's original five Cult Cabernets.
