Les Forts de Latour 2019, the second wine of Château Latour in Pauillac, reflects the estate's meticulous viticulture, where even younger vines benefit from exceptional care. This vintage, praised for its classic structure, offers a vibrant bouquet of blackberry, cassis, cedar, and subtle spice. The palate is refined, with polished linear tannins and a core of black and red fruit, crushed stones, and oregano that all lead to a long, elegant mineral finish. Enjoy with roasted duck breast, grilled ribeye, or mushroom risotto. Aged in 50-60% new oak barrels, this wine embodies Latour's signature elegance, offering immediate enjoyment while promising further complexity with age.

Critic Reviews
Antonio Galloni
95 Points
95 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: “The 2019 Forts de Latour is a tannic, backward wine, as it has always been. Blue/purplish fruit, lavender, graphite, sage and mocha open with a bit of coaxing. Even so, the 2019 is incredibly tight at this stage. Despite its imminent release, I would not dream of touching a bottle any time soon. Rain just before harvest in this warm vintage helped keep things in check and resulted in fairly generous yields of 45 hectoliters per hectare. At the same time, the mid-palate is a bit compact, while the tannins are imposing. (Drink between 2029-2049)” 01/25

94 Points, Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux: “Inky, great depths with a vivid violet rim, this is exceptional, balanced and full of character. Coming out of its serious early years, showing fleshy plum, damson and cassis fruits, along with graphite, slate, fennel and toast. If you like your wines particuarly powerful, you can go for it now and over the next few years, but it will age for a good few decades from here. Chiselled, very much speaking of its Pauillac heritage. 70% new oak for ageing, 39% of Latour's production in this vintage. Hélène Genin technical director, second year certified organic.” 02/24
James Suckling
97 Points
97 Points, James Suckling: “Exquisite aromas of lavender, cigar ash and Spanish cedar with dried citrus follow through to a medium body and a solid palate with powerful, ultrafine and linear tannins. The muscle and long finish are so beautiful. Give it two or three years but already a solid wine. Drink after 2028.” 01/25
The Wine Independent
95 Points
95 Points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent: “Composed of 65.8% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31.9% Merlot, and 2.3% Petit Verdot, the 2019 Les Forts de Latour is deep garnet-purple in color. It opens with classic scents of cedar, cassis, and plum preserves, followed by suggestions of bay leaves, lavender, and crushed rocks. The medium to full-bodied palate is tight-knit, bright, and refreshing, with fine-grained tannins and a mineral-laced finish.” 05/23
