Producer Information
Chteau Latour is one of Bordeaux’s and the world’s most famous wine producers. It is situated in the southeast corner of the Pauillac commune on the border of Saint-Julien, in the Mdoc region. Rated as a First Growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, it has become one of the most sought-after and expensive wine producers on the planet, and produces powerfully structured Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant wines capable of lasting many decades. The Chteau Latour history, classified as Premier Grand Cru in the 1855 classification, started in the 14th century when they built a fortified tower during the One Hundred Years War. Until the end of the 16th century, Latour was a co-lordship whose co-owners received rent from farmers who cultivated lands, some of which were already dedicated to the culture of the vines. Then, in the 18th century, the winegrowing saga speeded up when the marquis Nicolas-Alexandre de Sgur, the Prince of the vines, also owner of Chteau Calon Sgur and Lafite, became the owner of the estate. Since 1993, Franois Pinault and the Artmis group have been the majority owner (93%) and 7% has belonged to the Sgur familys heirs.
