Commanderie de Bordeaux in Copenhagen Latour Tasting and Dinner - September 2022

Maître Carl Jensen

On Tuesday the 27th of September 2022 a group of 28 Commandeurs gathered for a memorable evening at Restaurant Le Chambre in Copenhagen for a Chateau Latour Tasting and Dinner.

The focus was obviously on the line-up of wines, which were as follows :

Le Grand Vin : 1983, 1993, 1996 MG, 2000 and 2001

Les Forts : 1993 DBMG, 2001 and 2010
Pauillac : 2015
The Grandeur of Chateau Latour does nevertheless clearly show.

All wines presented well, with some vintages arguably a bit young or maybe even still in their infancy.

Surprises were few and the great 1996 and 2000 proved to be the Wines of The Night, as expected.

If any surprises at all then the 1983 demonstrates the incredible longevity of the wines from Chateau Latour. Very well balanced and with freshness in the fruit characteristics still. This might in some respects be at the height of its life, but will last for another decade easily. A beautiful example of what great terroirs, hard work and craftmanship can achieve in vintages that are less generous by nature than some others.

Combined with an excellent dinner from the relatively new event-restaurant of the Formel Family this was truly a night to remember.
