Chateau Latour Les Forts de Latour 2012

Les Forts de Latour is the second wine of Chateau Latour, offering a refined and structured expression of Pauillac. It shows layers of blackcurrant, plum, cedar, and tobacco, supported by firm tannins and fresh acidity. Powerful yet approachable earlier than the grand vin, it delivers depth, balance, and classic Left Bank character with strong aging potential.

Food Pairing: Pairs well with grilled beef, lamb, game, and aged cheeses.
