Chateau Latour only selects grapes from the 47 hectares which surround the Château Latour, the heart of the estate to make the ""Grand Vin de Château Latour.

Reviews
"Unquestionably the best wine produced in the Medoc in 1967, the Latour has dark ruby color with some browning at the edges, a medium- to full-bodied feel, plenty of black currant fruit, and some light, soft tannins still present. Head and shoulders above the other first-growths, this wine has the classic Latour bouquet of black walnuts, black currants, mineral scents, and cedarwood. " Robert Parker Bordeaux 3rd Ed.

I had high hopes of this wine that Parker describes as possibly the best of the vintage: and he was right. A deep garnet colour with a youthful, slightly auburn rim. The nose impresses the most: not complex but very well-defined, fresh, dominated by cedar and a touch of pencil-lead. The palate is foursquare, showing great definition at the beginning with fresh acidity and unbelievable youth, redolent of a 10 year old wine. Does not have the complexity of a usual Latour and is short on the finish, but the wine is well-balanced and a joy to drink. Certainly better than Haut-Brion 1967." Neil Martin Wine Journal

"The Latour ’66 remains one of the great wines of the vintage. This bottle has a lovely, fresh bouquet that continues to scream “Pauillac” at the top of its voice. Pencil lead, cedar, dark berried fruits, a touch of tar with exceptional definition and focus. The palate is very well balanced with stern, rigid tannins, very foursquare but excellent depth and penetration. There is a saline tang lingering on the grippy, stout, conservative but citrus fresh finish. Excellent and upstanding. Tasted December 2010." Neil Martin Wine Journal
