The 2015 Les Forts de Latour is a standout vintage, crafted with the same expert care as Château Latour's Grand Vin. This Pauillac offers a profound, powerhouse nose of blackcurrant cordial, boysenberries, plum preserves, dark chocolate, Chinese five spice, clove oil, violets, and crushed rocks. The palate delivers a flavor wallop of rich, ripe black fruits and spicy sparks, framed by beautifully plush tannins, finishing long and minerally. It's described as having grace and beauty, continuing to improve, and can be enjoyed now or held for decades. 【Exhibits grace and beauty, with 20-25 years of aging potential】. The 2015 vintage in Pauillac was shaped by terroir and careful harvest dates, with deep gravelly soils helping to retain moisture during a warm, dry summer.
Food pairing: This full-bodied, structured Bordeaux red is an excellent match for classic meat dishes. Think roasted or grilled beef, lamb, venison, or duck. Its complexity also allows it to pair well with rich stews or mature hard cheeses. For an Eastern pairing, consider Cantonese roasted goose or a robust Korean galbi.
Event suggestions: An impressive choice for a formal dinner, a significant celebration, or a corporate event where a wine of pedigree and aging potential is desired. It's also a fantastic addition to any serious wine collection.
BACKGROUND
Chateau Latour is one of Bordeaux's wines and the world's most famous wine producers. It is situated in the southeast corner of the Pauillac commune on the border of Saint- Julien, in the Medoc region. Typically for the region, Cabernet Sauvignon dominates in the vineyard, accounting for around 80 percent of plantings. Merlot makes up most of the remainder, and there are also small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The grand vin is only made from the vineyard plots surrounding the chateau and shown on the 1759 plan of the domaine. Latour makes two other wines: Les Forts de Latour and Pauillac de Latour, both of which are made from younger vines.
