Description
Discover the legacy woven into every bottle of Les Forts de Latour, a standout red from the storied vineyards of Chateau Latour in Bordeaux, France. These lands have yielded exceptional wines since the 16th century, with today's 80 hectares of vines capturing the essence of their historic terroir. At the heart lies the Enclos, 48 hectares encircling the chateau on a prominent ridge rising 16 meters above the Gironde estuary. Flanked by streams to the north and south, and alluvial plains to the east, this privileged site shapes wines of remarkable character.
Les Forts de Latour emerges from the same rigorous standards applied across the estate, drawing from distinct vineyard sections to craft a red that stands tall in its own right. This 750 ml bottle, at 13% ABV, delivers the depth and poise expected from Bordeaux's elite. Critics have showered it with praise: 94+ points from James Suckling for its minerality and focused energy; 94 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, highlighting its confident stride and elegant structure; 94 from Wine Enthusiast on the bold blackberry and crisp backbone; plus 93 from Wine Spectator and Jeb Dunnuck, and 92 from Decanter.
Envision elevating your collection or special occasion with this Pauillac powerhouse, where the Gironde's influence meets centuries of expertise. Its commanding presence makes it ideal for pairing with robust dishes or savoring solo to uncover layers of complexity. Priced at $599.99, Les Forts de Latour offers a gateway to Chateau Latour's grandeur without compromise, perfect for discerning enthusiasts seeking authenticity in every sip. Secure yours and join the tradition that has defined Bordeaux excellence.
From the Enclos's elevated vantage, this wine channels the unique interplay of ridge, waters, and soils into a bottle ready to impress. Whether building a cellar or marking a milestone, its critical acclaim and heritage ensure it delivers lasting satisfaction.
