Pauillac, Bordeaux, France
Château Latour
Château Latour is one of five Bordeaux estates sitting at the very top of the 1855 classification — the short list that still defines prestige in French wine. The 1996 is their flagship red from a cool, structured vintage widely regarded as one of the great Pauillacs of the decade, and priced accordingly.
