"...A famously tannic wine, yet it's now mellowed wonderfully. Amber-red color, with gorgeous aromas of mint, plums and minerals. Full-bodied, with big, velvety tannins and lots of ripe berries and tobacco on the finish. Super.

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
The world's largest fine-wine region, built around blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Divided by the Gironde estuary into the structured Left Bank and the plush, Merlot-led Right Bank, it is the historic benchmark for age-worthy claret and sweet Sauternes.
Home to three of Bordeaux's five First Growths, Pauillac is the Left Bank benchmark for powerful, structured Cabernet Sauvignon. Its wines are famed for cassis, cedar and graphite notes and exceptional aging potential.
Chateau Latour is a First Growth estate in Pauillac, Bordeaux, renowned for powerful, dense and extraordinarily long-lived Cabernet-dominated wines, especially its Grand Vin from the historic l'Enclos vineyard.
