Parker about Château Latour Les Forts 2017

A blend of 65.2% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 0.8% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2017 Les Forts de Latour is deep garnet-purple in color and strides confidently out of the glass with classic notes of plum preserves, warm cassis and pencil shavings with nuances of mulberries, pencil lead, Indian spices and forest floor. Medium-bodied, the palate packs a lot of fruit into a very elegant, tightly knit palate, delivering expressive blackberry and spicy flavors with a firm frame of grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing long with a peppery kick.

Produktbeschreibung

Château Latour Les Forts 2017


Les Forts de Latour is the second wine of Château Latour, a renowned winery in the Bordeaux region of France. The 2017 vintage is considered a rather difficult one in Bordeaux, but some wineries like Château Latour still produced remarkable wines.

The 2017 Les Forts de Latour is an elegant red wine made from a blend of different grape varieties, with a high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon. Often considered the "little brother" of Château Latour Grand Vin, this wine represents a slightly more accessible and early-drinking version of the wine.

In the glass, Les Forts de Latour 2017 displays an intense ruby ​​red color with violet reflections. On the nose, it unfolds a finely balanced bouquet with aromas of black cherries, blackberries, and cassis. These fruit aromas are accompanied by subtle spicy notes such as cedarwood, tobacco, and a light mineral presence.

On the palate, the wine presents itself elegantly with silky tannins and a balanced acidity. The dark fruit aromas continue, accompanied by hints of vanilla, dark chocolate, and a touch of smoke. The 2017 Les Forts de Latour is distinguished by its finesse and elegance, although it lacks the same depth and complexity as the Château Latour Grand Vin.

Nevertheless, Les Forts de Latour 2017 offers an impressive drinking experience, especially for wine lovers who prefer an approachable and early-drinking wine. It is pleasant to drink and displays good structure and balanced integration of flavors. It is possible to enjoy the wine at a young age, but it also has the potential to develop with further ageing in the bottle.
