2010 Les Forts de Latour, Pauillac, Médoc, Bordeaux
Region: Pauillac, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
Grape: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot
Rating: 95 Points - Wine Advocate
Tasting: Deep garnet-purple with excellent concentration. The nose reveals classic Pauillac character with aromas of blackcurrant, cedar, graphite, and tobacco, complemented by hints of violet, dark chocolate, and subtle spice. On the palate, this wine displays remarkable structure and balance, with firm yet refined tannins supporting concentrated dark fruit flavours and mineral complexity. The distinctive terroir of Latour's vineyard parcels shines through with notes of pencil lead, leather, and forest floor, leading to a long, aristocratic finish with excellent ageing potential.
Pairing: Superb with côte de bœuf, roasted leg of lamb, mature game, or aged Roquefort cheese. Also pairs excellently with rich mushroom dishes, duck breast, or dark chocolate desserts.
Producer: Les Forts de Latour represents the second wine of the legendary Château Latour, one of Bordeaux's most revered First Growth estates. Created from carefully selected parcels within Latour's exceptional vineyard holdings in Pauillac, this wine showcases the same meticulous attention to detail and uncompromising quality standards that have made Latour synonymous with excellence for centuries. Under the ownership of French billionaire François Pinault, the estate continues to set the benchmark for Pauillac winemaking, with Les Forts offering an accessible yet profound expression of this noble terroir that has been producing wine since the 14th century.
