In the mouth
The palate displays admirable freshness and definition, with a persistent finish that lingers with elegance. The structure is refined rather than imposing, allowing the wine's complexity to unfold gradually.
On the nose
Ripe dark and red fruits dominate the bouquet, with a subtle floral undertone emerging as the wine opens. The aromatic profile speaks to the careful élevage and the quality of the fruit selection.
On the eye
Brilliant ruby with excellent clarity and depth of colour
Les Forts de Latour 2016 is a masterclass in restraint and balance. It represents the château's philosophy distilled into its secondary offering: a wine that honours the terroir and the vintage without pretension. The organic certification adds another dimension to an already compelling bottle, demonstrating that conscientious viticulture and classical winemaking are entirely compatible.

CHATEAU LATOUR
Set on the gravelly slopes above the Gironde estuary in Pauillac, Château Latour stands among the five Premiers Grands Crus Classés of the 1855 Classification, its 47-hectare Enclos farmed biodynamically on exceptional argillaceous gravels. Founded in 1331 and acquired by François Pinault in 1993, the château became in 2015 the first Premier Grand Cru Classé to achieve full organic certification. The Cabernet Sauvignon-led blends deliver the depth and ageing potential that have made Pauillac a benchmark for red Bordeaux worldwide. At Halles Quercamps, we selected this château for the rare coherence between its centuries-long history, the rigour of its biodynamic viticulture, and the singular character of its terroir. A cornerstone of any serious Bordeaux cellar.
