PAUILLAC DE CHATEAU LATOUR, 2017

PAUILLAC

" Le Pauillac de Château Latour 2017, indécemment bon, éclate d'arômes parfumés de cassis crémeux, de baies sauvages et de prunes. Mi-corsé à corsé, charnu et poli, il est souple et succulent, avec un noyau enveloppant de fruits, des acides vifs et des tanins déjà fondus. " - Wine Advocate

History and anecdotes

The Château Latour history, classified as Premier Grand Cru in the 1855 classification, started in the 14th century when they built a fortified tower during the One Hundred Years War. Until the end of the 16th century, Latour was a co-lordship whose co-owners received rent from farmers who cultivated lands, some of which were already dedicated to the culture of the vines. Then, in the 18th century, the winegrowing saga speeded up when the marquis Nicolas-Alexandre de Ségur, the “Prince of the vines”, also owner of Château Calon Ségur and Lafite, became the owner of the estate. Since 1993, François Pinault and the Artémis group have been the majority owner (93%) and 7% has belonged to the Ségur family’s heirs.

Château Latour left the En Primeur Allocation system. The Château only offers wines ready to drink, the commercialisation does not occur by La Place de Bordeaux anymore.
