A bottle of 1956 Grand Vin de Château Latour from Bordeaux's Pauillac appellation.
Château Latour is ranked as a First Growth under the 1855 Bordeaux Classification and is generally considered to be the most powerful of them all in terms of longevity and depth of flavour. The core of the fruit comes from the 45 hectare L'Enclos vineyard, which is located next to the Château and winery. Plantings are 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.
Please note, there is no ABV stated on the label.
This bottle is from the collection of a London fine dining restauranteur, and has been kept in London City Bond prior to sending to us for sale.
Condition
Please see images for fill level and label condition. Note general wear. Not damage to the label and capsule, which appears to be secure. Due to the fill-level and potential fragility of the cork we recommend this for collection only, and it is shipped entirely at the buyer's own risk.
