- Vinification: Ageing in oak barrels, respect for natural cycles and meticulous blending for a pure expression of the terroir.
Tasting notes for Château Latour Latour 1996
To the eye: A deep garnet robe with tiled highlights, of silky density and crystalline brilliance.
On the nose: Aromas of ripe blackcurrant, fresh cedar and blonde tobacco, lifted by a hint of graphite and a subtle mineral salinity.

Serve at 16–18°C in a Bordeaux glass to release its full complexity.
