Born with the vintage 73, the Pauillac, coming from wine that may not be up to the standard of " Les Forts de Latour ", was made thereafter only in 74 and 87.
Since the vintage 1990, this generic Pauillac is released each year, with the same selection objectives, and as a result often made out of the young vines from the three plots situated outside the Grand Enclos.

- Deep ruby-red color. More expressive aromas of crystallized dark berries, dark chocolate and animal fur. Lush and sweet; thick but delineated. Wonderfully concentrated. This, too, seems rather withdrawn today, but the strength of material is clear to see. Finishes with firm tannins and explosive fruit that goes on and on.
