Chateau Latour是波爾多左岸的極致典範，相信沒有人會反對。葡萄園擁有全波爾多最深厚的礫石層，加上礫石層下的密實黏土，這樣極端的土壤組合造就了全波爾多最雄壯威武的紅酒。如同其酒標上的圖騰，從17世紀末Ségur家族的經營開始，Chateau Latour就開始釀製渾厚耐久型的紅酒；歷經300多年來一直是剛猛如獅子、堅實如堡壘的左岸紅酒之最。
波爾多給人的印象往往需要悠長時間醇化熟成，名莊動輒上萬元的高昂的身價也常令人卻步，1973年時 Chateau Latour 特別打造 Pauillac de Chateau Latour 這款
能在年輕時隨時享用的"小拉圖葡萄酒”，拉圖堡精選園內早熟討喜風格葡萄樹的果實，以各半的 Cabernet Sauvignon以及 Merlot 葡萄與20%新桶燻培出圓軟又稠密的風格，帶著迷人辛香果味。

The 2015 Le Pauillac de Chateau Latour is a blend of 54.2% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41.7% Merlot and 4.1% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it sails out of the glass at a fantastic clip, delivering wonderfully fragrant notes of baked blackberries, blueberry compote and redcurrant jelly with hints of licorice, red roses and cigar box. Medium-bodied, generously fruited, open-knit and tantalizingly drinkable right now, the palate is chock-full of expressive red and black fruits, featuring approachable, ripe, soft tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with compelling purity. Very impressive showing!
