The Château Latour estate (owned by Francois Pinault, Artémis Domaines) is located in the heart of the Médoc in the famous Pauillac region, and is one of the five first growth vineyards in the 1855 Bordeaux classification. The château's prime terroir, l’Enclos, overlooks the Gironde estuary and its geological complexity has made the terrior one of the most revered of the region. Combining historical prestige with modern winemaking, Château Latour creates wines that are considered masterpieces of power, elegance, and longevity. Their Premier Cru – Le Grand Vin Château Latour is considered one of the most age-worthy wines in the world.
