- Tasting Notes
Among Château Latour’s 90 hectares, only 47 hectares surrounding the château are dedicated to producing its Grand Vin, ensuring exceptional terroir expression and meticulous quality control. The high density vine planting (10,000 vines per hectare) fosters intense fruit concentration, while the aging process in 100% new French oak barrels from Allier and Nièvre enhances its complexity and depth.
The 2006 vintage showcases a perfectly balanced structure, reflecting a high quality harvest where the grapes reached optimal ripeness. It embodies classic Bordeaux character with rich layers of black fruit, including blackcurrants and plums, interwoven with licorice, cloves, and fine oak nuances. The palate is dense yet elegant, with silky tannins and a lingering mineral driven finish, leaving a profound impression of depth and refinement. Every sip invites the drinker on a sensory journey, making it a coveted vintage for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
- Food Pairing: Château Latour pairs exquisitely with all types of meats, including veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, roasted poultry, and grilled dishes. It also complements Asian cuisine, rich fish dishes like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta based dishes. Best served at 16-18°C.
