History of Château Latour 1958, Pauillac

Located in the Médoc region of Bordeaux, Château Latour 1958 belongs to the Pauillac appellation. Its history dates back to the 14th century. It's one of the Médoc's oldest vineyards, and also one of the only châteaux to have been owned by the same family for so long: the Ségur family for almost 300 years. It was only bought out in 1962 by two major British groups, Pearson and then Allied Lyons. The Allied Lyons group encountered several difficulties during the management of Château Latour due to a disorganized management structure. It was sold to François Pinault in 1993. He will give new impetus to Château Latour, both by innovating and by rebuilding. And to improve the wine itself, he appointed Frédéric Engerer as manager, accompanied by his technical team. He also decided to change his business strategy. In 2009, Château Latour turned to biodynamic agriculture, and in 2015 all the Château Latour vineyards were launched on the road to organic certification, which will be completed in 2018. Château Latour is one of the wines in the 1855 Grands Crus Classés classification, and belongs to the Premiers Crus. This is the first chateau among the Premiers Grands Crus Classé to produce organic wine.

It is known for its aromas of black fruit in particular, but also for its woody, smoky character. Earthy aromas are also present. Other Pauillac wines include those of Château Grand-Puy Ducasse.
