James Suckling – “The fresh currant and violet aromas are so complex and beautiful on the nose. Full body, ultra-refined tannins and lovely tannin tension. Shows focus and such finesse. Beautiful finish.” Jamessuckling.com

Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – "The 2016 Les Forts de Latour is superb, unwinding in the glass with notions of blackcurrants, wild berries, sweet loamy soil, cigar wrapper and English walnuts. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it’s concentrated and tightly wound, with superb depth at the core, lively acids and ripe, powdery tannins. This is an impeccably balanced, utterly classical Forts de Latour worth a special effort to seek out." - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

About This Wine

Certified Organic. From its genesis in 1966, this wine has evolved and improved to achieve the level of Médoc Grand Cru Classé. Fruit for this wine is sourced from vines within L’Enclos, both from the centre (where the majority of fruit is used for the Grand Vin), from the edges of the site and, from other plots in the Cru Classé areas of Pauillac (some of which have been owned by the Château for more than a century).

Winemaking for Les Forts de Latour is in a similar vein to the Grand Vin, with the only difference to note being the proportion of new oak used in the maturing stage (50% as opposed to 100% in the Grand Vin). The varietal blend varies each year; 2016 is 64.3% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35.3% Merlot and 0.4% Cabernet Franc and sits at a cool, 13.5% alcohol.
