Why we follow Château Latour
The estate
One of the original First Growths, Château Latour sits at the southern edge of Pauillac beside the Gironde, its tower looking over the great L'Enclos vineyard. Owned since 1993 by François Pinault's Artémis group, in 2012 it left the En Primeur system to release its wines only when they are ready to drink.
The vineyards
Around 90 hectares of deep gravel over clay, Cabernet Sauvignon dominant. The heart is the walled L'Enclos around the château, source of the Grand Vin in the greatest years.

In the glass
Latour is the most powerful and structured of the First Growths, dense, tannic and built for the very long haul, with cassis, leather, graphite and remarkable depth. Patience is rewarded like almost no other wine.
With Lamont’s
Offered through the Private Cellar Selection, generally following the April release. Register your interest and we will contact you when the next allocation is confirmed.
Because Latour is now released only when mature, parcels are small and irregular, and typically reach us in spring. Register your interest to be offered the next release ahead of general availability.
The wines
Request individual wines, or the whole estate. We will contact you when an allocation is confirmed.

How allocations are offered
It records which producers and wines interest you, so we know who to contact when a release is confirmed.
Availability depends on what arrives and how many customers are waiting. In some years there is very little to go round.
Our team considers purchase history, genuine interest and intended enjoyment. We would rather a case went to someone who will open it and tell us what they thought than to whoever asked first.
Change what you follow at any time from My allocation requests. Release timing moves with the producer and the vintage, so the months on the release calendar are a guide rather than a promise.
