The heart of the estate is L'Enclos, the walled plot of around 47 hectares that wraps around the château on a gravel rise beside the Gironde. The river cools the vines and holds off frost, so the grapes ripen slowly and keep their freshness, and many in Bordeaux rate this the finest terroir on the Left Bank. The grand vin comes from these vines alone. Certified organic since 2018, Latour belongs to François Pinault's Artémis Domaines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eStyle, and the wines of Latour\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLatour is Cabernet Sauvignon at its most serious, the grand vin well over 90% Cabernet with a little Merlot.
