Les Forts de Latour is the second wine of First Growth Château Latour which made its debut in 1966 and is produced with the same meticulous care as the Grand Vin, both in the vineyard and in the winery. The 2000 vintage is currently at its peak. It retains its deep black fruit, floral, and oak-derived nuances, complemented by the emerging notes of spice, earth, and hints of cigar box. This wine maintains a well-balanced and vibrant profile, upheld by its fresh acidity and a touch of mint, which extend through to the long finish.
