Chateau Latour - Chateau Latour 1991 1er Grand Cru Classé

Château Latour is located in Pauillac, in the heart of the Médoc region and is one of the most famous Premier Grand Cru Classé of Bordeaux. Its origins are very ancient and the first evidence of the property dates back to 1300.

Today the vineyard covers a total of 92 hectares of which 47 are located around the Château, the famous "Enclos", which represents the most prestigious area, exclusively intended for the production of Latour's first wine.

The Château Latour vineyard is planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (76%), Merlot (22%), Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc (2%). The gravelly soil of this area of ​​the Médoc, in fact, is particularly suitable for Cabernet Sauvignon, which prefers poor, dry and draining soils. Merlot is grown in the lower areas of the Enclos on cooler and shallower soils, with a higher percentage of clay. Petit Verdot and Cabernet-Franc represent a small percentage in the blend, however the former contributes to giving tannic structure and intense spicy notes. The vineyards are planted with high planting density and managed with low yields, to obtain an excellent aromatic concentration.
