Gaucelme de Castillon received an authorisation from Lord Pons to build a fortified tower in the parish of Saint Maubert.
The Mullet family held the estate until the late 17th century.
While the leasing system gradually gave way to direct use of the land, the winemaking situation changed very little.
Alexandre de Ségur acquired Château Latour as a result of successive marriages and inheritances.
In 1714, a barrel of Château Latour commanded a price 4-5 times higher than a barrel of typical Bordeaux wine.
By 1729, the ratio rose to thirteen and by 1767 to twenty.
This flourishing trade gradually led the estate to specialise in wine production, with 38 hectares of vines in 1759 and 47 hectares by 1794.
The producers make Château Latour exclusively from “vieilles vignes” (old vines) with an average age of 60 years in the “Enclos”.
The heart of the Enclos is the only vineyard that, every year, produces the depth, elegance and concentration that we expect from Château Latour.
These wines need time – often a decade – before they become ready for drinking.
Château Latour also earned a reputation for producing fine wines even in difficult years.
Château Latour 1940
The Château Latour 1940 is a highly-rated, rare, and long-lived vintage red wine from Bordeaux, France.
Moreover, experts recognise it for its exceptional quality and youthful character even at over 85 years of age.
In addition, the weather during the vintage is considered a decent, warm year for Bordeaux, which produced well-balanced wines.
Furthermore, this 1940 wine presents aromas of graphite, mushroom, tea, spices, and toast.
Additionally, it appears clear-coloured and delivers tastes of plum, smoke, wood, and leather.
