Pauillac de Château Latour 2014 is the third-label Pauillac from one of the Médoc’s benchmark estates, Château Latour, a 1855 First Growth based in Pauillac. Sourced from lots not selected for the Grand Vin or Les Forts de Latour—including fruit from younger vines outside the core Enclos—this wine is intended to offer a more approachable expression of the Latour style. The reported blend is about 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Merlot, coming in at 13% alcohol. Grapes are hand-harvested, fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel, and aged roughly 18–24 months in French oak.

In the glass, reviewers consistently emphasize refinement over sheer power. Wine Spectator (90 points) notes that it “may come off as light-bodied compared to its peers,” but underscores how “silky, refined and pure” it is, with “lovely cassis bush, blackberry puree and violet notes” and an “unadorned finish.” Wine Spectator also provides useful context for collectors: “Drink now through 2026,” and reports production at “6,148 cases made.”

Two strong 92-point reviews stand out as excellent endorsements for a third wine from a major château. James Suckling awards 92 points and highlights precision and freshness, calling the fruit “bright and focused with strawberries and spices,” backed by “firm and silky tannins and a fresh finish,” concluding, “Crisp and pretty. Drink or hold.” Jeff Leve (The Wine Cellar Insider) also scores it 92, describing a “focused, refined” wine with “sweet” cassis, “polished” texture, and fruit “stained with tobacco leaf,” suggesting it benefits from short-term patience and “will be ready to drink in just a few short years.”

Overall, the 2014 Pauillac de Château Latour delivers classic Pauillac markers—cassis, tobacco, and floral lift—in a medium-bodied, finely textured frame that prioritizes purity and drinkability without losing its château signature.
