Château Latour is one of the oldest Bordeaux wine producing properties in the appellation of Pauillac and has a history dating back to the 14th Century. It was classified as a First Growth in 1855 and is widely regarded as one of the most consistent of all the elite châteaux, with a reputation for wines of remarkable longevity. The 1976 vintage is characterised by a bouquet of cedar and caramel with a hint of very ripe tomato. The wine is full of fruit, rich and concentrated.
