Château Latour is one of the oldest wine properties in the appellation of Pauillac and has a history dating back to the 14th century. Since 1993 the First Growth estate has been part of Artémis Domaines, which portfolio also includes Clos de Tart and Château Grillet. The 1973 vintage is now fully mature, offering complex tertiary aromas such as cigar, wood, wet cellar and a touch of chocolate. On the palate, there is a clear expression of sour-sweet cherries and blackcurrants, delivered with a very elegant, silky mouthfeel.
