Chateau Latour 2016
Château Latour 2016 originates from the prestigious Pauillac appellation in the Médoc region of Bordeaux, France. The estate, which dates back to the 14th century, has been under the ownership of François Pinault and his holding company, Artemis Group, since 1993. Under the leadership of Frédéric Engerer, the winery follows a philosophy of uncompromising quality, focusing on precision viticulture and biodynamic practices, with the Grand Vin produced from entirely organic fruit.
Wine Description
This wine displays a deep, almost opaque garnet-purple hue. The complex bouquet reveals layers of smoky blackcurrants, blackberries, and cassis, intertwined with quintessential notes of graphite, lead pencil shavings, violets, and rose petals. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, offering a powerful yet elegant structure marked by a core of concentrated fruit, lively acidity, and perfectly ripe, grainy tannins. The texture is seamless and builds into an exceptionally long, mineral-driven finish characterized by notes of wet stone, iron ore, and persistent salinity.
Accolades
"Decanter - 100 points"
"James Suckling - 100 points"
"Vinous - 100 points"
"Wine Spectator - 98 points"
"Robert Parker - 97 points"
Food Pairing
The robust tannins and intense structure of this Pauillac make it an ideal companion for rich, savoury dishes such as roasted ribeye steak with a pepper sauce or herb-crusted rack of lamb. It also pairs exquisitely with game meats like roast venison or duck breast, where the wine's acidity balances the richness of the meat.
