1999 Chateau Latour – First Growth Power from Pauillac

The 1999 Chateau Latour is a fine expression of one of Bordeaux’s most revered First Growth estates. Situated in the heart of Pauillac, Château Latour consistently produces wines of exceptional depth, structure, and longevity. The 1999 vintage is no exception—offering a classic profile that has matured into a refined and complex claret.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of blackcurrant, cedar, and graphite evolve into secondary notes of tobacco leaf, forest floor, and leather. The palate is elegant and layered, showing restrained power with flavors of dark plum, crushed stone, and herbs. Fine-grained tannins and bright acidity carry the wine through a long, balanced finish.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

Chateau Latour’s vineyards sit on deep gravel soils with excellent drainage, contributing to the wine’s concentration and aging potential. The 1999 blend consists primarily of **Cabernet Sauvignon**, supported by **Merlot and Cabernet Franc**, and was aged for **18–20 months in 100% new French oak barrels** to enhance its structure and complexity.

Investment & Collectibility

The 1999 Château Latour is a highly collectible First Growth, offering immediate drinking pleasure and continued cellaring potential. Its pedigree, vintage character, and provenance make it an excellent acquisition for seasoned collectors. Perfect for your collection.

Vintage Specifics & Accolades

The **1999 vintage** in Bordeaux was marked by a cooler, late-ripening season, resulting in elegant wines with freshness, balance, and expressive aromatics.

Reminding me slightly of the 2001, the 1999 Château Latour offers an utterly classic Latour elegance and complex in its beautiful dark fruits, lead pencil, cedarwood, dried tobacco, and assorted spice-like aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied on the palate, it has a balanced, mature, seamless mouthfeel, polished and integrated tannins, and a great finish. It's not a blockbuster but excels on its finesse and complexity. I was able to follow this bottle for two days, and it never showed a hint of oxidation or fatigue, and unquestionably has another two decades of longevity. There's no need to delay gratification, however, since this beauty is drinking at point. Reviewed by Jeb Dunnuck, Issue date: August 2021. Drinking window: 2021 - 2041.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 1999 Latour doesn't quite dominate the competition the way the 1994 does, but it, too, is a lovely wine, exhibiting notes of blackcurrants, cigar wrapper, rich soil tones and creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, deep and impressively concentrated, with velvety tannins, ripe acids and a long, expansive finish, it is showing beautifully today.
