Château Latour exclusively uses “vieilles vignes” (old vines).
These vines have an average of 60 years-old in the “Enclos”, which contains the Gravettes, Sarmentier, and Pièce de Château vineyards.
The heart of the Enclos is the only terroir that, every year, produces the concentration that we expect of Château Latour.
Here, the Cabernet Sauvignon (accounting for more than 90% of the blend) achieves optimal expression.
