The estate spans 78 hectares, predominantly planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and a small percentage of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. This vintage was produced from younger vines and parcels excluded from the Grand Vin, benefiting from the rigorous vineyard practices of Latour. The wine exhibits a blend of blackcurrant, graphite and hints of leather, with a structured palate and noticeable tannins. Les Forts de Latour consistently reflects the intricate characteristics of its origin.
