The vineyard of Château Latour It covers approximately 78 hectares, cultivated primarily with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The soil, composed of a mixture of clay and limestone, promotes optimal drainage, essential for the ripening of the grapes. climat The region's oceanic climate, with its hot summers and mild winters, allows for a slow and even ripening of the grapes, thus contributing to the concentration of aromas and the balance of the wine. Each plot is carefully chosen to express the quintessence of the Pauillac terroir.
The team's opinion
2008 is a winemaker's vintage. Less sun-drenched than 2009 or 2010, it appeals to lovers of classic Bordeaux, favoring elegance and tension over high alcohol levels. It's a wine that is just beginning to reach its ideal drinking window, but it still has decades of aging potential.
