Château Latour is made exclusively from “vieilles vignes” (old vines) with 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, can produce the depth, elegance and concentration that we expect of Château Latour.
It is here that the Cabernet Sauvignon (accounting for more than 90% of the blend) can achieve optimal expression in terms of colour, richness and freshness.
- After a particularly wet winter and spring, May and June were sunny, allowing the flowers to develop without any problems.
- A hot, dry July encouraged good growth.
- August was cooler but remained dry.
- The grapes therefore ripened in very good conditions.
- Some rain late September refreshed them, and relieved the strain on the vines a!er the long dry period.
- The harvests took place from 4–18 October, confirming the delayed nature of the 1979 Latour vintage.
Château Latour 1979 is a wine of a very high standard, with magnificent colours and a beautiful tannic structure.
Great richness on the palate with delightful, elegant notes of leather and ripe fruit.
