Les Forts de Latour Pauillac 2016
Certified Organic. From its genesis in 1966, this wine has evolved and improved to achieve the level of MĂ©doc Grand Cru ClassĂ©. Fruit for this wine is sourced from vines within LâEnclos, both from the centre (where the majority of fruit is used for the Grand Vin), from the edges of the site and, from other plots in the Cru ClassĂ© areas of Pauillac (some of which have been owned by the ChĂąteau for more than a century).
Winemaking for Les Forts de Latour is in a similar vein to the Grand Vin, with the only difference to note being the proportion of new oak used in the maturing stage (50% as opposed to 100% in the Grand Vin). The varietal blend varies each year; 2016 is 64.3% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35.3% Merlot and 0.4% Cabernet Franc and sits at a cool, 13.5% alcohol.
