Built on centuries of history and crafted from a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend, it captures the gravitas and aging potential that have made Latour one of the world’s most revered fine wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it shows a dense, deep purple color that hints at its concentration and structure. The nose opens with layered aromas of espresso roast, cassis, burning embers, truffle, and graphite, giving it both intensity and a distinctly noble Bordeaux character.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is full-bodied and richly textured, with impressive purity, savory complexity, and a broad, powerful mouthfeel balanced by graceful precision. The 2008 vintage is built for the long haul: it can be enjoyed now with patience, but it will continue to evolve beautifully over the next several decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteau Latour is situated in Pauillac in the Médoc, where its 78 hectares of vineyards benefit from an exceptional terroir of deep gravel and clay, topped with large rounded stones that retain heat well into the evening. The estate is planted mainly to Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by Merlot and small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Harvesting is carefully managed to preserve quality, and since 2015 the entire vineyard has been farmed organically, with horses used for ploughing and natural fertilization as part of a more sustainable approach to viticulture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a wine that calls for richly flavored dishes such as prime rib, lamb, venison, beef tenderloin, or slow-braised short ribs. It also pairs well with truffle-inflected dishes and mature hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decanting is recommended if drinking now to help the wine open up and reveal its full aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuottaja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteau Latour has roots reaching back to the 14th century, when the original tower that gave the estate its name was built during the Hundred Years’ War. One of only four Médoc estates classified as Premier Cru Classé in the 1855 Bordeaux classification, it has long stood among the most prestigious names in wine. Since 1993, the estate has been owned by François Pinault, under whose stewardship it has continued to strengthen its reputation as one of Bordeaux’s most celebrated and reliable producers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Latour","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49122481045746,"sku":"FW-826","price":669.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/4810\/5202\/files\/ch_teau-latour_1_8f8c9177-8a7d-4fd7-a593-890dca7117ca.png?v=1777476249","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.fi\/products\/chateau-latour-2008","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
