LOUIS LATOUR, CLOS VOUGEOT, 2020

875,00

Ima duboku rubin boju i bogati nos u kojem dominira šljiva. Nepce je velikodušno, ali vrlo dobro uravnoteženo, s temeljem zrelog ploda duda i kupina uokvirenog začinskim, zadimljenim rubom. Tanini su mekani i zreli, ali lijepo drže vino zajedno. Dobar intenzitet i zrelost na završetku kojim dominira crno voće i dašak hrasta vanilije.

It has a deep ruby colour and a rich, plummy dominated nose. The palate is generous yet very well balanced, with a foundation of ripe mulberry fruit and blackberries all framed by a spicy, smoky edge. The tannins are soft and ripe yet hold the wine together nicely. Good intensity and ripeness on the finish which is dominated by black fruit and a touch of vanilla oak.

REGIJA / REGION

Bordeaux je vinska regija smještena u jugozapadnoj Francuskoj te je domovina najpoznatijih svjetskih vinara. Ima stoljetnu tradiciju, a u vinima Bordeaux-a uživali su i stari Rimljani. Oko grada Bordeaux-a se nalazi 14 000 proizvođača vina te 117 514 hektara vinograda.

Regija je u blizini rijeke Gironde te Atlantskog oceana zbog čega ima morsku klimu. Ocean i rijeka donose blagu zimu i topla ljeta te duge sunčane jeseni. Regija je zaštićena od oceanskih snažnih vjetrova sa gustom borovom šumom koja se proteže paralelno uz regiju. Zbog rijeke i oceana regija ima vapnenačko tlo sa glinom i pijeskom što je izuzetno pogodno tlo za uzgoj vinove loze.

Bordeaux je najpoznatiji po crvenim vinima te plemenitim slatkim vinima, no ne zaostaju ni visokokvalitetna bijela vina. Bordeaux crvena vina imaju jedinstveni izražaj regije koji je prepoznatljiv u cijelom svijetu. Najčešće crne sorte koja se uzgajaju su Cabernet sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec. Najčešće bijele sorte su Sauvignon blanc, Semilion i Muscadelle. Klasifikacija bordoških vina počela je 1855. godine. Bordoški vinogradi podjeljeni su na pet regija; Entre-Deux-Mers, Libournais, Bourgeais-Blayais, Gravec i Medoc.

 

Bordeaux is a wine region located in southwestern France and is home to the world’s most famous winemakers. It has a century-old tradition, and the wines of Bordeaux were enjoyed by the ancient Romans. There are 14,000 wine producers and 117,514 hectares of vineyards around the city of Bordeaux.

The region is close to the Gironde River and the Atlantic Ocean, which is why it has a maritime climate. The ocean and river bring mild winters and warm summers and long sunny autumns. The region is protected from strong ocean winds with a dense pine forest that runs parallel to the region. Due to the river and ocean, the region has calcareous soil with clay and sand, which is an extremely suitable soil for growing vines.

Bordeaux is best known for its red wines and noble sweet wines, but high-quality white wines are not far behind. Bordeaux red wines have a unique expression of the region that is recognizable all over the world. The most common black varieties that are grown are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec. The most common white varieties are Sauvignon blanc, Semilion and Muscadelle. The classification of Bordeaux wines began in 1855. The Bordeaux vineyards are divided into five regions; Entre-Deux-Mers, Libournais, Bourgeais-Blayais, Gravec and Medoc.

O VINARIJI / ABOUT THE WINERY

O VINARIJI / ABOUT THE WINERY

Château Latour je francusko vinsko imanje, ocijenjeno prvim rastom prema Bordeaux klasifikaciji iz 1855. godine , u vlasništvu Groupe Artemis . Latour leži na samom jugoistočnom vrhu komune Pauillac u regiji Médoc , sjeverozapadno od Bordeauxa , na granici sa Saint-Julienom , i samo nekoliko stotina metara od obala ušća Gironde .Na imanju se ukupno proizvode tri crvena vina. Uz Grand vin , Latour je od 1966. godine proizveo i drugo vino Les Forts de Latour , a treće vino, jednostavno naziva Pauillac  i pušta se svake godine od 1989. godine. Imperiale (šest litara boca) Chateau Latoura prodala se 2011. g. za £ 135,000 .

Od 1670.godine započinje loza povezanog obiteljskog vlasništva koja nije prekinuta do 1963.  kada je imanje stekla obitelj de Chavannes i 1677. godine  sklapanjem braka prelazi na obitelj de Clauzel. Kada se Alexandre de Ségur oženio Marie-Thérèse de Clauzel , Latour je postao dio njegove goleme imovine, kojoj je također dodao Château Lafite 1716. godine, neposredno prije njegove smrti. Godine 1718. njegov sin Nicolas-Alexandre de Ségur dodao je Château Mouton i Château Calon-Ségur u svoja gospodarstva i počeo proizvoditi vina visoke kvalitete. Rasprostranjena reputacija Latoura pojavila se početkom 18. stoljeća kada je njegov status uspostavljen na izvoznim tržištima poput Engleske, uz dvorce Lafite, Margaux i Pontac . 

Smrću Nicolas-Alexandrea Ségura 1755. godine imanje je podijeljeno između četiri kćeri, od kojih su tri naslijedile Latour 1760. godine,  a s odsutnim vlasnicima Latourom je upravljao regisseur zadužen za učinkovitu upravu i temeljitu korespondenciju s vlasnicima .  Primajući više brige nego pod pokojnim vlasnikom čiji je favorit bio Lafite, Latour se poboljšao u kasnijoj polovici stoljeća, a kasnije je postao miljenik Thomasa Jeffersona , tadašnjeg ministra u Francuskoj, koji je La Tour de Ségur kategorizirao kao vinograd prve kakvoće 1787. godine.

1989. godine Latour je kupio Allied Lyons za oko 110 milijuna funti, no 1993. vratio se u francusko vlasništvo kada ga je poduzetnik François Pinault kupio za 86 milijuna funti i postao je dio njegove holding tvrtke Groupe Artemis. 

Vina Bordeaux Pauillac bogata su i koncentrirana, puna, crvena, s gripnim taninima i karakterističnim notama  crnog ribiza, cedra i cigare. 
Najbolji primjeri potječu od mješavina s bazom visokokvalitetnog cabernet sauvignona i često se smatraju najistaknutijim primjerom bordoškog vina.

Pauillac, u Bordeauxovoj regiji Lijeve obale Médoc, može se pohvaliti dobro dreniranim šljunčanim tlima, što zauzvrat znači i kvalitetnija vina, a oni iz Pauillaca izuzetno dobro stare. Tri od pet prvih izrastaka iz klasifikacije Médoc iz 1855. godine nalaze se u Pauillacu: Lafite, Latour i Mouton-Rothschild.

 

 

 


Château Latour is a French wine estate, rated as a First Growth under the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, owned by Groupe Artemis. Latour lies at the very southeastern tip of the commune of Pauillac in the Médoc region to the north-west of Bordeaux, at its border with Saint-Julien, and only a few hundred metres from the banks of the Gironde estuary.

The estate produces three red wines in all. In addition to its Grand vin, Latour has also produced the second wine Les Forts de Latour since 1966, and a third wine, simply named Pauillac , has been released every year since 1989. An impériale (six-litre bottle) of Château Latour sold for £135,000 in 2011.

From 1670 began a lineage of connected family ownership not broken until 1963, when the estate was acquired by the de Chavannes family, and passed by marriage to the de Clauzel family in 1677. When Alexandre de Ségur married Marie-Thérèse de Clauzel, Latour became a part of his vast property, to which he also added Château Lafite in 1716, just prior to his death. In 1718 his son Nicolas-Alexandre de Ségur added Château Mouton and Château Calon-Ségur to his holdings and began producing wines of great quality.The widespread reputation of Latour emerged at the beginning of the 18th century when its status was established on export markets such as England, alongside chateaux Lafite, Margaux and Pontac.With the death of Nicolas-Alexandre Ségur in 1755 the estate was divided among four daughters, three of whom inherited Latour in 1760,and with absent landlords, Latour was managed by a regisseur charged with efficient administration and thorough correspondence with the owners. Receiving more care than under the late owner whose favourite had been Lafite, Latour improved in the later half of the century, and later became a favourite of Thomas Jefferson, then minister to France, when he categorised La Tour de Ségur as a vineyard of first quality in 1787.

In 1989 Latour was purchased by Allied Lyons for around £110 million, but in 1993 returned to French ownership when bought by businessman François Pinault for £86 million when it became part of his holding company Groupe Artemis.

Bordeaux Pauillac wines are rich and concentrated, full-bodied reds with grippy tannins, and characteristic notes of cassis, cedar and cigar box spice.
The best examples come from blends with a base of high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon and are often considered the quintessential example of a Bordeaux wine.

Pauillac, in Bordeaux’s Left Bank Médoc region, boasts well-draining gravel soils, which in turn translates to higher quality wines; and those from Pauillac age extremely well.
Three of the five first-growths from the 1855 classification of the Médoc are situated in Pauillac: Lafite, Latour, and Mouton-Rothschild.
