The wine was first labeled with this name in 1966 and constant work on developing its quality has resulted in its achieving the level of a M\u00e9doc Grand Cru Class\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>The origin of this wine is threefold:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The edge of the Enclos.<br \/>\n\u2022 Some plots that could be used in the Grand Vin may finally be included in the Forts de Latour blend, depending on how their quality is judged during the blending tastings.<br \/>\n\u2022 Plots located outside the Enclos, in Cru Class\u00e9 areas of Pauillac:<\/p>\n<p>These consist on the one hand, of plots such as Pi\u00f1ada, Petit Batailley, and St. Anne, which have belonged to the estate for more than a century and whose vines benefit from a high average age (around 40 years), synonymous with quality.<\/p>\n<p>And on the other hand, of a seven-hectare island of vines in the commune of Artigues on gravel terraces, which was acquired in 2005. Plus a handful of plots (about 5 hectares) acquired in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>These various blocks of plots present very different terroirs, thereby offering Forts de Latour more varied characteristics and flavor profiles depending on the vintage.<\/p>\n<p>Les Forts de Latour is produced with the same meticulous care as the Grand Vin, both in the vineyard and in the winery. The only notable difference, apart from the origin of the grapes, is the proportion of new barrels (50 to 60%) used in the maturing stage.<\/p>\n<p>The blend for Forts de Latour can vary from one year to the next but there is always a higher proportion of Merlot (25 to 30%) compared to the Grand Vin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h5>Les Forts de Latour (\u62c9\u56fe\u5e84\u56ed\u526f\u724c)<br \/>\nCh\u00e2teau Latour\u2019s second wine<br \/>\nPREMIER CRU CLASS\u00c9, PAUILLAC<br \/>\nBORDEAUX, FRANCE.<\/h5>\n<pre><span class=\"trx_addons_tiny_text\">VOLUME \/ VINAGE \r\n75CL. \/ 1993 ; 1995 ; 2002 ; 2005 ; 2006 ; 2008 ; 2009 ; 2010 ; 2013 ;\r\n1.5L  \/ 2007 ; 2013\r\n<\/span><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2004,"template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[33,70,68],"product_tag":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sea.hcx114.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/452"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sea.hcx114.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sea.hcx114.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sea.hcx114.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2004"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sea.hcx114.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=452"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sea.hcx114.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=452"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sea.hcx114.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=452"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
