Les Forts de Latour 2020 is the second wine of the renowned Château Latour. A sublime red wine, it is one of the greatest wines of Pauillac.
It comes from the area surrounding the Château's walled vineyard, including younger vines (around 40 years old) and a few historic parcels, "Petit-Batailley" and "Saint-Anne," located in the heart of the Pauillac Grand Cru Classé region.
This 2020 vintage is a truly exceptional wine, a sublime Pauillac released at an accessible price by the estate in March 2025 (delivery from June 2026).
The 2020 vintage blend is composed of 69.7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26.7% Merlot, and 3.7% Petit Verdot.
The harvest took place from September 9th to 15th for the Merlot and from September 17th to 28th for the Cabernet Sauvignon.
The specific characteristics of its vineyard of origin necessitate careful control of the use of new oak during aging—around 60%—in order to preserve finesse and elegance, while also developing the tannins.
Tasting notes: Les Forts de Latour 2020
Appearance: Intense violet.
Nose: A plethora of black fruit on the nose, including pure blackcurrant, plum and crunchy black cherry.Hints of cedar wood, smoke and tobacco round out this highly complex wine.
Palate: Charming and supple, with a fine tannic structure and seductive freshness. The finish is harmonious and long.
12bouteilles suggestion: Serve between 17°C and 18°C, as a perfect accompaniment to red meat in sauce. This is a wine with great ageing potential, best enjoyed between 2026 and 2040.
A 95-hectare vineyard, Château Latour is located in the heart of the Médoc, about 50km from Bordeaux. Premier Grand Cru classé in 1855 in the Pauillac appellation, according to the official classification, it stands at the pinnacle of Bordeaux's great wines. Constantly striving for perfection, the estate produces sublime wines that have stood the test of time and will continue to flourish.
