Often described as a gateway into the world of Château Latour, it captures the château’s signature graphite, cigar box and smoky character, while remaining generous, fruit-forward and immediately enjoyable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it shows a deep ruby color with a polished, elegant look. The nose brings classic Pauillac notes of blackcurrant, cherry and kirsch, lifted by cedar, cigar smoke and a touch of tar and pencil shavings.\n\nThe palate is supple and well-framed, with Merlot contributing roundness and Cabernet Sauvignon providing structure and freshness. It is generous without feeling heavy, with a refined mineral edge and a long, savory finish. While already highly enjoyable now, it has enough balance to develop gracefully over the next several years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePauillac de Latour is crafted from vineyards in the Pauillac appellation, where the gravelly terroir lends Cabernet Sauvignon its depth, precision and aromatic lift. The blend varies by vintage, but Merlot usually plays a leading role, with Cabernet Franc included in small but important proportions. Fermentation takes place in a combination of stainless steel tanks and large oak casks, followed by around 16 months of aging in barrels previously used for Latour’s other wines, before clarification with fresh egg whites and bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe this wine with roasted lamb, grilled beef, duck breast, game birds or mushroom-based dishes.
