Chateau Latour

For many, Chateau Latour is the epitome of claret. Many would regard it as the leading first growth, and in the eternal quest to find 'the wine of the vintage' it is frequently Latour that comes out on top. One of its strengths is said to be that it outperforms in weaker vintages, and so when the weather has not been so favourable it is perhaps to Latour that buyers of first growths should look first. The wine also has, as is fitting for a first growth, a phenomenal propensity for ageing well, with many tasters remarking that the 1899, 1900, 1928 or perhaps the 1945 (or in fact any number of other vintages) come high in their list of candidates for favourite Latour vintage.
