In 1378, Chateau Latour (en Saint-Maubert) which was later known as Chateau La Tour and then Chateau Latour, came into being. During 100 years war, the Tower of Saint-Mambert, a fortified post guarding the estuary, was held by a fighting force employed by the King of France.
The original tower no longer exists, but in the 1620s a circular tower (La Tour de Saint-Lambert) was built on the estate named after Simon Ledwidge and though it is actually designed as a pigeon roost, it remains a strong symbol of the vineyard.
Ripe currants, licorice and toasted oak on the nose. Full-bodied with ripe fruit and chewy tannic.
