Chateau Latour 1961
The finest wine of the finest Bordeaux vintage of the 20th century — still evolving after 60 years.
The 1961 Chateau Latour is widely regarded as the best wine of what many critics consider the finest Bordeaux vintage of the 20th century. A 12-bottle case sold for $57,000 at Sotheby's in 2012, with individual magnums exceeding $8,000 at auction. A spring frost that year reduced yields by 40%, concentrating remaining grapes into wines of enormous structure and longevity. After 60 years, Latour 1961 is still evolving in bottle.
