Description

Pauillac de Latour saabus esmakordselt Eestisse 2020. aasta kevadel ja seda veini müüakse Eestis eksklusiivselt vaid Balen OÜ kaudu. Tegemist on Château Latour’i nn. “kolmada veiniga” ja nimeks Pauillac de Château Latour. Veini valmistamiseks kasutatud viinamarjad on kasvanud Château Latour’i enda veiniaedades, kasutatakse kõige nooremate veinipuude saaki. Tegemist on suurepärase võimalusega tutvuda selle kuulsa ja ajaloolise mõisa stiiliga. Sarnaselt mõisa esiveiniga alustatakse Pauillac de Latour müüki vaid siis kui vein hinnatakse veinimeistri poolt joomisküpseks.

“Based on 56.9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30.8% Merlot, and a whopping 12.3% Petit Verdot (this cuvée accounts for 21% of the total production of the estate), the 2018 Le Pauillac De Château Latour is impressive, and certainly an outstanding wine. Classic crème de cassis, violets, menthol, and complex floral notes all emerge from this medium to full-bodied, seamless, elegant wine. It continues to open up beautifully with time in the glass and I suspect will keep for 15 years or more. The best third wine out there? I’d say unquestionably.” Jeb Dunnuck 93+ points

“Deep ruby in the glass, with creamy vanilla, rich blueberry fruit and a touch of smokiness on the nose. The palate is rich and rounded with sweet tannins, but has a fantastic cut of fresh acidity that tames the ripe blue and black fruits at the core. Earthy and cedary as well as ripe, this builds to a long and intense finish of great purity.” Farr Vintners Tasting 92+ points

“Firm, very silky and driven with blackberry and currant. Medium to full body, chewy texture and a lightly austere finish. Chewy and polished third wine of Latour.” James Suckling 91-92 points

“The 2018 Le Pauillac de Château Latour is a blend of 56.9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30.8% Merlot and 12.3% Petit Verdot. It has 14.1% alcohol and an IPT (total polyphenol index) of 76. Deep garnet-purple colored, it leaps from the glass with bold notes of black cherries, black raspberries and dark chocolate giving way to notions of blackcurrant pastilles, potpourri and cinnamon toast. Medium-bodied, elegant and refreshing with plush tannins and loads of mineral sparks accenting the fruits, it finishes with a skip in its step. Drink: 2023-2039.” Lisa Perrotti-Brown 91 points

“This is a Pauillac de Latour with clear spice and kick, with an exuberant texture from alcohol that is higher than usual after the hottest summer since 2003, alongside abundant raspberry, blueberry and black cherry fruit, spiced sandalwood and concentrated mint. 24hl/ha yield after mildew, with 21% of production going into this wine, 5.7% press wine. First year of organic certification, with biodynamic farming fully practised. Hélène Genin technical director, harvest September 17 to October 11.” Jane Anson 91 points

“56.9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30.8% Merlot, 12.3% Petit Verdot. 21% of production. Barrel sample. Black core and purple rim. Lightly stony cassis, scented and pure. Dry, dense and chocolate-textured tannins. A bit of a curtain of tannin but the fruit seeps round the edges. Generous fruit and open apart from the tannin framework. Sweet fruited on the finish. Drink 2023-2028.” Julia Harding | Jancis Robinson 16,5 points
