Chateau Latour 1994 - Pauillac

Château Latour 1994: The Myth of a Pauillac First Growth

Estate Presentation: The Absolute Elite of the Left Bank

Château Latour, a First Growth in 1855, is one of the most famous and respected wine estates on the planet. Located in the heart of the Pauillac appellation, its historic vineyard rests on the mythical "L'Enclos" terroir, with deep gravel ridges overlooking the Gironde estuary. This unique geographical positioning gives the wines monumental consistency and power. Latour is globally recognized for producing the densest, most complex, and age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignons in all of Bordeaux, capable of lasting generations without faltering.

Description of the 1994 Vintage: Strength and Classicism

The 1994 vintage stands out in Pauillac as a great success for the First Growths, and particularly for Château Latour. Characterized by a mild late season that allowed the Cabernets to reach optimal ripeness, 1994 produced concentrated wines with superb substance and an imposing tannic structure. After three decades of harmonious aging in the cellar, this wine has perfectly polished its original power to reveal a regal balance and fascinating tertiary complexity.

"It exhibits an opaque dark ruby/purple color, and an intense nose of old book, nuts, and blackcurrant, complemented by notes of toast that develop in the glass. This full-bodied, powerful, and structured Latour reveals significant tannins, but without bitterness or astringency." R. Parker (01/1998)
