Château Latour Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac 2005 comes from one of the First Growths of the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, a true icon of the Left Bank. With a history dating back to the 14th century, Château Latour has long been considered one of the greatest expressions of Cabernet Sauvignon and a benchmark for Pauillac. Its vineyards, centered on the famous L’Enclos parcel, sit on deep gravel soils that produce wines of immense power, longevity, and finesse.
The 2005 vintage is widely recognized as one of the finest Bordeaux years of the modern era, producing wines of concentration, balance, and outstanding aging potential. At Latour, this vintage yielded a wine of profound depth and structure. It opens with intense aromas of cassis, blackberry, and graphite, layered with tobacco, cedar, and mineral notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied and powerful, with perfectly ripe tannins, remarkable precision, and a finish that seems to go on endlessly.
Critics have placed the 2005 Latour among the greatest wines of the château. Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate awarded it 98 points, noting its extraordinary purity and potential to last for generations.
Still youthful, this wine is entering an early drinking window but will continue to evolve and gain complexity for 30–40 years or more, rewarding patient collectors with layers of truffle, leather, and cigar box.
With provenance guaranteed, Château Latour 2005 represents the pinnacle of Bordeaux — a First Growth in a legendary vintage, and one of the most sought-after bottles for serious collectors.
