CHâTEAU LATOUR 1982

PRODUCER NOTES

Latour is undoubtedly one of the greatest names in wine, a legend of extraordinary standing, for more than two centuries consistently featuring on the most distinguished of tables and in the grandest of cellars. When considering its style, one can’t help but compare it to Lafite, its perfectly complementary partner and longstanding rival. Hugh Johnson puts it like this: ‘Lafite is a tenor; Latour a bass. Lafite is a lyric; Latour an epic. Lafite is a dance; Latour a parade.’ It is this extraordinary blend of power and class which give Latour its famous ability to age for decades. Strong and muscular in its youth, it is usually the last of the First Growths to open up. In great years it is almost immortal. In lesser years, it still takes a decade to blossom. The second wine, Les Forts, is produced with the same uncompromising focus on perfection and is often deservedly said to be of Second Growth quality.
