Latour is made exclusively from “vieilles vignes” (old vines) with an average of 60 years-old in the “Enclos”.
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.
- The winter was mild and rainy, except for a few cold days in mid-February.
- Then the budbreak was early on 20 March and the weather then became very rainy until the end of May.
- From the first days of June, sunny, warm, dry weather arrived, enabling excellent flowering that began on 8 June.
- The harvest promised to be abundant.
- July and August were very hot but stormy.
- The humidity resulted in a severe outbreak of disease in the vineyards.
