Château Latour from Pauillac stepped out of the Bordeaux trading system of offering the wine en primeur to the market a few years ago. They now release a vintage from their cellars every year that they themselves believe is perfect to enjoy now and in the years to come. Although a monument like Château Latour can of course also be kept for a very long time. The 2010 vintage was not offered by the Château until September 2022.

Château Latour re-releases its 2010. This is one of the legendary Latours with the perfect score of 100 points from various wine critics! One of the most essential wines from Bordeaux of the last years.

The Latour 2010 is deep garnet in colour and bursts from the glass with powerful aromas of cherries, blackberries, dried roses, cigar boxes, fragrant autumn earth. Full, concentrated and oh so decadent on the palate, it has a firm, grainy texture and a delicious freshness that carries the rich, luscious fruit into an epically long finish. Incredibly tempting to drink now, this wine will reveal its otherworldly secrets over the next fifty years++. Packaged in OWC/1

The oldest document with the mention Latour dates from 1331 and is an authorization given by Lord Pons to Gaucelme de Castillon to build a fortified tower in the parish of Saint Maubert. Château Latour then appears in 1378 in Jean Froissart's "Chronicles". This was the time of the 100 Years' War. The "Tour de Saint Maubert" was a fortress to guard the estuary, manned by Breton soldiers for the King of France. After a three-day siege, the Anglo-Gascon army seized the fort and installed a garrison.
