The finest wine of the finest Bordeaux vintage of the 20th century — still evolving after 60 years.
The 1961 Bordeaux vintage is considered by many critics the finest of the 20th century, and Chateau Latour's version is regarded as the best wine of that extraordinary year. A 12-bottle case of Latour 1961 sold at Sotheby's for $57,000 in 2012, and individual magnums have exceeded $8,000 at auction. The year was marked by a spring frost that dramatically reduced yields, concentrating what remained into wines of enormous structure and longevity. Latour 1961 is still evolving in bottle after 60 years — a living argument for the greatest estates of Bordeaux.
