ROBERT PARKER “What a brilliant wine conjured by the team in 2004! Cropped at 52hl/ha, it retains that pure nose of blackberry, cedar, a hint of liquorices this time, then that note of damson, but it certainly appears to be opening up since I tasted it last year. Wonderful definition. The palate is full-bodied with rounded tannins, notes of blackberry, bilberry and blueberry, breeding and style in abundance here, leading to a warm, velvety, sappy finish that lacquers the palate. Wine of the vintage? Drink 2015-2035. Tasted June 2009.”

Key Features & Benefits
Chateau Latour 2004 is crafted using traditional Bordeaux winemaking techniques with meticulous attention to detail. The vineyard’s unique terroir of gravelly soils ensures optimal drainage, contributing to the concentration and complexity of the grapes, primarily Cabernet Sauvignon complemented by Merlot and Petit Verdot.
Hand-harvested and aging for 18–24 months in new French oak barrels, this wine develops nuanced flavors and extraordinary balance that distinguish it from other Pauillac vintages. Its robust structure and aging capacity make it highly desirable among high-net-worth collectors seeking both elegance and longevity.
Heritage & Collectibility
Rooted in a heritage dating back over three centuries, Chateau Latour is synonymous with prestige and excellence in Bordeaux wine production. The 2004 vintage is particularly coveted due to its favorable growing conditions and limited availability.
As one of the five First Growth estates, Chateau Latour consistently commands significant demand on the global collectors’ market. Its investment potential is underscored by historic price appreciation, making the 2004 a sound acquisition for those seeking a legacy asset with proven market desirability.
Sensory Profile & Usage
Expect an expressive bouquet of blackcurrant, cedar, and graphite, evolving to reveal layers of mocha and tobacco on the palate. This full-bodied wine boasts firm tannins balanced by refined acidity, culminating in a lingering, elegant finish.
Serve slightly below room temperature at 16–18°C after decanting for at least one hour to fully unlock its complexities. Ideal pairings include rich dishes such as roasted lamb, game meats, or mature cheeses, elevating any gourmet experience. Proper cellaring in a cool, humid environment will preserve its exceptional quality for decades to come.
