2017 Les Forts de Latour | Pauillac, Second Wine of Château Latour | 750ml

Left Bank Prestige — Power, Precision & Classic Pauillac Authority 🍷🏰

Les Forts de Latour 2017 is the renowned second wine of the legendary Château Latour, one of Bordeaux’s five First Growth estates. Crafted from younger vines and select parcels of the Latour estate, Les Forts de Latour offers a more approachable yet unmistakably aristocratic expression of Pauillac terroir.

The 2017 vintage delivers structure, balance, and refined intensity, combining dark fruit, firm tannins, and classic Left Bank minerality. While more accessible in youth than Château Latour itself, Les Forts retains serious aging potential and unmistakable pedigree—making it one of the most sought-after second wines in Bordeaux.
