"About the Winery:
Chateau Latour is situated in the heart of the Médoc wine region, about 50 km north-west of Bordeaux, where the legend of the vineyards of Bordeaux began. The Château’s prime terroir, l’Enclos, overlooks the Gironde estuary which, over the centuries, has given the vineyard its geological complexity and, on a daily basis, ensures a mild climate.
About the Wine:
Pauillac de Latour, Chateau Latour's third wine, has been made every year since 1989, and was developed primarily for the restaurant market.
About 20% new barrels are used in the vinification of the Pauillac, the precise proportion varying depending on the characteristics of the vintage. The blend for Château Latour’s Pauillac 2018 is 55.8% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38.8% Merlot, 5.4% Petit Verdot.
2019 is characterised by its harmony and balance. A cool wet spring followed by a warm and dry summer created the right conditions for a generous crop of exceptional quality. After a mild and wet autumn, January 2019 was wet (117 mm) and quite cold. The second half of February was much warmer, and this encouraged an early yet even bud break, registered on 21st March for the Merlot and on 28th March for the Cabernet-Sauvignon. Early June was cool and rainy. However, the weekend from 30th May to 2nd June was exceptionally fine and hot so the flowering went well. Hot and dry weather then set in from mid-June and continued throughout the summer. 27 mm of rain in just 4 days at the end of July gave the vines some respite and kick-started the colour-change, which as registered on 6th August. Thanks to these favourable conditions which lasted until mid-September, the berries ripened in the best possible manner and the grapes remained healthy right up to harvest."
