The Château Latour 2013 is a refined and classically proportioned wine from a challenging, cooler vintage that rewarded rigor and precision. The nose is reserved yet complex, offering blackcurrant, graphite, cedar, and subtle floral notes, with hints of tobacco leaf and crushed stone. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and tightly structured, with firm, finely grained tannins and a vibrant acid spine providing clarity and lift. Flavors of cassis, red currant, and savory mineral tones unfold gradually, emphasizing elegance over power. The texture is linear and composed, reflecting strict selection and restraint. The finish is long, precise, and distinctly Pauillac—an understated, cerebral Latour that prioritizes finesse and longevity over immediate impact.

Chateau Latour is one of Bordeaux’s most legendary estates and a benchmark for Cabernet Sauvignon on the Left Bank. A First Growth located at the southern edge of Pauillac, Latour is defined by its historic Enclos vineyard, where deep gravel soils over clay produce wines of exceptional structure and longevity. The estate’s philosophy is uncompromising, centered on meticulous viticulture, severe selection, and precision élevage to achieve absolute consistency. Latour is renowned for its disciplined, architectural style and extraordinary aging potential. Since adopting a late-release model, the château releases wines only when deemed ready. Every vintage reflects an unwavering pursuit of classical balance and depth.
