The Gironde and its tributaries moderate the climate, while the soils shape the wine’s structure and longevity. In Pauillac, Bordeaux, France, Pauillac gravel and clay give the wine its frame, depth and sense of place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✦ The Wine \u0026amp; Varieties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2017 Chateau Latour 'Les Forts de Latour' is made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot-led Bordeaux blend. For Hong Kong collectors new to European fine wine, this is a way to understand place through structure: fruit gives pleasure, but terroir gives the wine its shape and memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✦ Winemaking Philosophy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine reflects estate-grown fruit from Château Latour vineyards. The cellar work is not about making the loudest wine, but about preserving proportion, texture and the identity of the vineyard. Ageing: French oak ageing at the estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✦ Taste Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExpect dark fruit, refined tannins, cedar spice and a long structured finish that opens slowly in the glass. It is a wine to serve with care, open with time and enjoy as it moves from fruit toward detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✦ Why It Matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2017 Chateau Latour 'Les Forts de Latour' matters because it carries the Latour signature in a more open, earlier-drinking form. It belongs in a cellar not only as a luxury bottle, but as a reference point for how origin, vintage and human judgement can meet in one glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✦ Key Facts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrapes: Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot-led Bordeaux blend\u003cbr\u003eRegion: Pauillac, Bordeaux, France\u003cbr\u003eSoil: Pauillac gravel and clay\u003cbr\u003eFarming method: estate-grown fruit from Château Latour vineyards\u003cbr\u003eAgeing: French oak ageing at the estate\u003cbr\u003eServing temperature: 16–18°C\u003cbr\u003eAgeing potential: 15–30 years\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Latour","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57263292711260,"sku":"FW-001","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/3436\/9116\/files\/Chateau-Latour-2017.jpg?v=1775299473","url":"https:\/\/garudawines.hk\/products\/chateau-latour-les-forts-de-latour-2017","provider":"Garudawines.hk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
