INDRA'S NOTE: The 2016 growing season's warm, dry summer and gentle September harvest brought grapes to complete maturity, yielding a superb vintage defined by rich structural complexity and exceptional long-term cellaring potential.
FOOD PAIRING: Pan-seared thyme lamb chops, Beef Wellington, braised venison, Teochew braised duck, and beef rendang elevate the wine's rich tannic structure and weight.

Tracing its historic roots to a 1331 defensive tower along the Gironde estuary, Château Latour achieved official Premier Cru (First Growth) distinction in the historic 1855 Bordeaux Classification.
In 1993, French business leader François Pinault acquired the estate, driving modern advancements alongside sustainable and organic viticultural practices.
First created in 1966, Les Forts de Latour represents the premier second wine of this famed estate.
It receives the same meticulous craftsmanship as the Grand Vin, utilizing fruit from mature vines and specifically designated vineyard parcels.
Cultivated in the gravel-rich soils of Pauillac, a classic Bordeaux appellation renowned since antiquity, the wine embodies the signature power, muscular structure, and majestic elegance characteristic of this legendary terroir.
