A Deep Dive into Les Forts de Latour: Terroir, Grape Varieties, and Flavor Profile

While it is the second wine (second label) of Château Latour, Les Forts de Latour is by no means a mere ancillary product. Its grapes primarily come from excellent plots on the periphery of the renowned "L'Enclos" core vineyard, as well as from young vines aged 10 to 15 years within the vineyard. This unique terroir imbues it with both the robust structure of Latour's grand vin and an appealing charm that makes it approachable earlier.

Typical Blending Ratios and Flavor Characteristics

Grape Variety	Average Blending Ratio	Flavor Contribution and Palate Expression
Cabernet Sauvignon	70% - 75%	Provides powerful tannic structure, deep color, and signature aromas of blackcurrant, cedar, and graphite.
Merlot	25% - 30%	Adds roundness and softness to the body, bringing sweet fruit notes of black plum and black cherry, balancing the astringency of Cabernet Sauvignon.
Cabernet Franc / Petit Verdot	0% - 2%	Depending on the vintage, adds hints of spice, violet floral notes, and greater complexity.

What is the market trend for Château Latour in the buy-back market?

Château Latour is known for its powerful tannins and exceptionally long aging potential, making it the most robust representative among the First Growths of Bordeaux. Since withdrawing from the En Primeur market in 2012, its circulation has further decreased, leading to a steady increase in secondary market prices. Emperor Cellar offers high buy-back prices for both the Grand Vin and second wine of Latour. Please WhatsApp: 96737259 for the latest market trends.

Is there a significant price difference between buying back full cases and loose bottles?

There is some difference. Original wooden cases (OWC) usually have a 5-15% higher buy-back price than loose bottles due to their complete packaging and traceable origins. However, loose bottles are still welcome for buy-back as long as they are well-preserved. Whether it's a full case or loose bottles, simply WhatsApp: 96737259 with photos to get an instant quote.
