*A very rare Chateau Latour 3 bottle crate
Country: France
Region: Bordeaux
Sub-region: Pauillac
Classification: First Growth
Production: 16,000 - 20,000 cases per year
Grape: 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot
Crate design: Chateau Latour has the very ancient logo of the "Lionness of France" standing above Fort Castillon.
Rarity: Extremely rare. We have a great difficulty acquiring Latour crates. Although Latour produces the most cases amongst the other 4 First Growth's, they are the most sought after by major wine investors and collector's.
Crate designation: Exclusive Class First Growth ($100.00)
Our opinion: Chateau Latour has the most well-known historical story of all the First Growth's. The Latour logo is based on the legend of St. Joan of Arc. During the Hundred Year War between France and Britain, the Castillon fort was the last bastion of France's defense force. Joan of Arc stood atop the Castillon fort with her battlecry, and was able to break the lines of the British singlehandedly. This is how she became known as the "Lioness of France".
