Château Latour--Vintage 1990
1 dozen bottles per lot
LATOUR In July 1993 the French entrepreneur and businessman, Mr François Pinault bought Château Latour from Allied Lyons, restoring Château Latour into French hands after 30 years of British ownership. The 47 hectares which surround the Château, are called "l'Enclos" which is located near the boundary with St-Julien and Leoville- Las- Cases in the north and stretches to near Haut-Bages-Libéral. Only the grapes from these 47 hectares make it into the Grand Vin de Château Latour. The proximity of the Gironde River which is only 300 meters away provides a slightly warmer mesoclimate than elsewhere in Pauillac and manifests itself in early flowering and ripening, and means that there is less risk of frost damage. As Stephen Brook writes in The Complete Bordeaux; "No other Médoc wine can match Latour for power, depth of flavor, and grandeur." Château Latour--Vintage 1990 Pauillac, 1er cru classé Lot 191 levels: seven bottom neck or better, four very top shoulder, one top shoulder Lot 192 levels: five into neck, seven bottom neck or better; one nicked label, mixed importers Lot 191 in original wooden case 1 dozen bottles per lot
