Chateau Latour

The origins of Chateau Latour are ancient and aristocratic.

Chateau Latour

In the Middle Ages, when Bordeaux was part of the English crown lands, an important fortress stood on the site of Chateau Latour, protecting the low-lying part of the river estuary from pirates and marauding Frenchmen alike.

This fortress was destroyed by the forces of the King of France during the campaigns leading to the final expulsion of the English in 1452.

Perhaps the most remarkable fact about the ownership of Chateau Latour is that from 1670, when it was acquired by the de Charravas family, until 1963, it remained in the control of connected families, passing by marriage first to the Clauzels in about 1677, then to the Segurs, then to four families of whom the de Beaumonts remained as the principal one down to 1963.

The wine produced at Chateau Latour has been an impeccable and classic model of consistent excellence, both in great, mediocre and poor vintages. For that reason, many have long considered Chateau Latour to be the Medoc's finest wine. It also has a remarkable record of being an extremely slow-developing wine, requiring a good 20-25 years of bottle age to shed its considerable tannic clout and reveal its stunning power, depth and richness.
