Description
CELLAR TREASURES - These are wines that come from private cellars of well-known customers of ours. These are often iconic wines. The certainty we have here is that the wine has been stored in a (conditioned) cellar and is now physically in our conditioned Warehouse. Wine is a natural product and how the wine has developed over the years is unknown. We always take 360 degree photos of these wines so that you can inspect the condition of the bottle, label and also the filling. Feel free to come by if you want to inspect the bottle yourself. In many cases you can be very seriously surprised, but it can also be certain that the wine has had its best time or has already strayed further. These wines are ideal for collecting purposes or a special vertical tasting.
The 1974 Château Latour from Pauillac is a Premier Grand Cru Classé and comes from one of the most prestigious wineries in the Médoc. Château Latour is known for its powerful, structured wines with great ageing potential.
Tasting notes:
Colour : well developed red with brick rim, bright but thinner in intensity.
Nose : Tertiary aromas of leather, dried mushrooms, humus, wet leaves, tobacco and a hint of spices.
Taste : light-footed, with soft tannins and a relatively short finish. There is still some red fruit present, but the wine lives mainly from its complexity in the bouquet, not from power.
Alcohol : moderate (around 12%), typical for the time.
Serving advice
Decanting : gently and briefly, to separate the sediment without losing the fragile aromas.
Serving temperature : 16–17°C
Uses : Suitable for calm contemplation or as part of a vertical Latour tasting.

The Château Latour is one of the most famous wineries in the world. It is located in the Bordeaux in Pauillac. It is located on the border with the Saint-Julien wine region. Château Latour is classified as Premier Grand Cru Classé according to the Bordeaux wine classification system of 1855. The estate covers 60 hectares and approximately 78% cabernet sauvignon, 17% merlot and a little cabernet franc and petit are added.
History
Château Latour has played an important role in the history of the region. Throughout the centuries, many old documents about this winery have been preserved in the archives. This unique heritage shows extraordinary stability and continuity in the estate and those who have worked there throughout Latour's long history, which has undoubtedly been an important factor in the exceptional regularity and quality of the wines.
The oldest document with the mention Latour dates from 1331 and is an authorization given by Lord Pons to Gaucelme de Castillon to build a fortified tower in the parish of Saint Maubert. Château Latour then appears in 1378 in Jean Froissart's "Chronicles". This was the time of the 100 Years' War. The "Tour de Saint Maubert" was a fortress to guard the estuary, manned by Breton soldiers for the King of France. After a three-day siege, the Anglo-Gascon army seized the fort and installed a garrison.
