What dishes should you pair with a Château Latour at a grand dinner?
The wines of Château Latour, with their assertive tannic structure and aromas of blackcurrant, cedar and truffle, call for dishes worthy of their complexity. Noble red meats — beef tenderloin en croûte, aged prime rib or roasted milk-fed lamb — make for classic, timeless pairings. Game birds such as pigeon or woodcock also harmonise beautifully. For older vintages, with their melted tannins and developed tertiary bouquet, a selection of aged cheeses, such as a well-matured Comté or a Brie de Meaux, can reveal some wonderful surprises.
