WINEMAKER NOTES
2006 Chateau Latour – Pauillac Power with Classical Precision
The 2006 Chateau Latour reflects the estate’s uncompromising approach to structure, depth, and longevity. Situated in the heart of Pauillac, Latour consistently produces wines of remarkable authority, and the 2006 vintage showcases a more restrained, classically proportioned expression that continues to evolve with confidence.
Tasting Notes
Dense and composed, the wine opens with aromas of blackcurrant, graphite, tobacco leaf, and dark cocoa. The palate is firmly structured, delivering layers of concentrated dark fruit framed by muscular yet refined tannins. Savory notes of cedar, mineral, and subtle spice carry through a long, focused finish, emphasizing Latour’s signature intensity and control.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
Predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller portions of Merlot and Petit Verdot, the 2006 Latour was sourced largely from the Enclos vineyard. Gravel-rich soils and proximity to the Gironde estuary contribute to consistent ripening and exceptional concentration. The wine was aged in new French oak, reinforcing structure while preserving clarity and balance.
Investment & Collectibility
Chateau Latour remains one of Bordeaux’s most secure blue-chip wines, valued for its ability to age gracefully over decades. The 2006 vintage, while more classic in style, has gained increasing recognition for its precision and long-term potential among collectors and investors.
Vintage Insights & Accolades
The 2006 growing season featured warm summer conditions followed by a cooler finish, resulting in wines of firmness and longevity. Critics highlight Latour’s disciplined expression and aging trajectory in this vintage.
