*Vintage may vary by location*

The vines selected for the Pauillac receive the same attention from the winemakers as the rest of the estate’s plots. In the cellar, our team’s expertise gives a wine that is both intense and silky-smooth, with a vinification process that respects the elegant tannic structure characteristic of Château Latour and revealspure fruit and a beautiful velvety texture. Merlot takes on a larger role in the blend and a greater proportion of press wine is reintroduced, always with a view to sublimating the fruit without losing any of the depth and delicacy of the texture. The Pauillac of Château Latour may seem more approachable than the other two wines produced at the Château, but it will benefit just as much from extended cellaring.

This is quite chunky and fruity, with plums, berries, ash and hot stones on the nose and palate. It's full and flavorful. A juicy and intense red. Drink and enjoy.

Looking at the three releases from Château Latour, these are all powerful, concentrated, wines that are going to age gracefully. Starting with the 2020 Pauillac, it has ample cassis and darker fruits as well as attractively perfumed aromatics of violets, graphite, and some obvious minerality. Medium to full-bodied and beautifully balanced, with fine tannins, it's a legit Pauillac to drink over the coming 15+ years.

The estate's second wine, produced from young vines, less optimally located parcels and any declassified lots, is the 2020 Le Pauillac de Château Latour, an attractive effort redolent of sweet berries, cassis, licorice and petals. Medium to full-bodied, with lively acids, sweet tannins and a penetrating finish, it combines immediate charm with aging potential.
