Unanimously awarded 100 points by every major critic, it stands proudly among the greatest Latour vintages ever made, alongside 1961, 1982 and 2010. Built for generations.

From one of Bordeaux’s most formidable First Growth estates, the 2016 Château Latour carries the authority of a producer whose name is inseparable from precision, longevity, and absolute confidence in provenance.

100 Points, Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux
Impressively precise and muscular. No question that this needs longer in the bottle before really being ready to drink, but everything is in place for decades of pleasure. Smart timing of this release — a vintage that underlines without question just why Latour is so revered, and why there is a clear logic to holding it back at the estate for almost a decade, allowing the first part of its ageing cycle to take place under fully controlled conditions.

Very much a classic Pauillac, with confidence and character, waves of mint leaf, coffee bean, cola, crushed rocks, crayon and liquorice root, opening up to show fragrant nuances of rose petals and peony.
