Château Latour 1er Cru Classé 2005 is an iconic red wine from Pauillac in Bordeaux, France, and a great wine from a legendary vintage. The wine is known for its impressive depth, power, and precision, but also for the elegance and balance that make Château Latour one of the most prestigious names in Bordeaux. The 2005 vintage appears concentrated, complex, and age-worthy, with an expression that combines intensity and classic French finesse at the highest level.

On the nose, the wine opens with nuances of cassis, blackcurrant, dark cherries, and plum, beautifully complemented by cedar, cigar box, graphite, spices, and a subtle hint of forest floor. The aromatic profile is deep, refined, and very complex with layer upon layer of dark fruit and classic Pauillac character. The palate is full-bodied, dense, and silky, with impressive concentration, firm yet ripe tannins, and a long, persistent finish where fruit, minerality, and oak meld elegantly. The result is a wine with enormous structure, great depth, and exceptional aging potential.

Château Latour 2005 pairs particularly well with beef, lamb, game, braised dishes, and aged cheeses. It is a wine for special moments and for those seeking one of Bordeaux's most classic and prestigious wines with power, complexity, and timeless elegance.

97 /100

2005 was a very dry, warm and sunny vintage, causing vine stress in some areas of Bordeaux. Harvested from September 26 to October 6, the tannin/IPT levels were very high this year. The 2005 Latour is blended of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the rest Merlot and Petit Verdot. It is the biggest surprise of this tasting—until now, the wine was relatively closed and broody, but today the wine is just starting to reveal its personality—and what a stunner! Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it opens with provocative floral scents of roses and violets over a core of fresh blackcurrants, chocolate-covered cherries and black raspberries with hints of fertile loam, unsmoked cigars and black tea. Medium to full-bodied, firm, grainy and packed with muscular fruit, it has an epically long, savory finish sparked by floral notes. 12,000 cases were made.- Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate

Very open and beautiful now with currants, light chocolate and spices. Incense as well. Full-bodied, tight and reserved with a fantastic center palate of fruit and firm tannins. Closed and hiding behind the structure and depth. Needs time to open still but already a joy to taste (drink!).

Deep dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections. Initially restrained on the nose, rich berryish confit, a touch of nougat, mandarins and orange peel, very complex. Already incredibly harmonious on the palate, wonderful cherry fruit, lively acidity, appears incredibly light-footed, fine Amarena cherries, mineral and long, an incredibly fascinating wine in which everything is in the right place.

A great wine, the summation of a great vintage in Bordeaux. The core of richness, the dense, bone-dry tannins, the black currants, red berries and black plum skins are the elements, but it's the way they have been integrated that makes this such an impressive wine. There is great elegance as well, a fabulous counterpoint to such power. Cellar for at least 15 years, but this will keep forever. Imported by Diageo Chateau & Estates and multiple US importers.

Today owned by Artemis Domaines, back in 1855 Latour was in the hands of the de Beaumont family, descendants of the historic de Ségur family. It had also already become one of the first estates in Bordeaux to incorporate as a business, forming the Société Civile de Château Latour in 1842. It was undisputedly among the top wines of the region back then, and it continues to be now, proof of the magical combination and location, soils, investment and skill. This remains muscular, just starting to soften and open, slowing layers and waves of cocoa bean, blackberry, cassis, liquorice root, crayon, cigar box and truffle. 100% new oak for ageing.

About the grape

Cabernet Sauvignon - Merlot

Cabernet Sauvignon og Merlot udgør et af verdens mest ikoniske og udbredte rødvinsblends – fundamentet for de klassiske Bordeaux‑vine og forbilledet for utallige tolkninger verden over. Kombinationen af Cabernet Sauvignons tanninrige struktur, syre og mørke frugt samt Merlots bløde, runde frugt og fyldige mundfølelse skaber vine med både dybde, balance og stort lagringspotentiale.

Smagsprofilen spænder typisk fra solbær, brombær og mørk kirsebær til mere subtile noter af blomme, ceder, tobak, vanilje og krydderi, især når blendet lagres på eg. Cabernet Sauvignon bidrager med struktur og kompleksitet, mens Merlot afrunder udtrykket med saftig frugt og en silkeblød fylde.

Blendet dyrkes i dag på tværs af den vinproducerende verden – fra Bordeaux til Australien, Chile, Californien og Sydafrika – hvor terroir og proportionerne mellem druerne giver unikke udtryk fra elegante og stramme til generøse og fyldige vine.

Serving

Serveres ved 16–18°C i store rødvinsglas for at fremhæve frugten og integrere tanninerne. Fyldige vine kan med fordel serveres mod 18°C.
