Château Latour

The tower on the Château Latour label was founded in 1331 by Gaucelme de Castillon during the Hundred Years' War. Three centuries later, the wine estate was acquired by the Marquis Nicolas-Alexandre de Calon-Ségur. Today, the property has 47 hectares of vines, located on a gentle slope.
