World Gourmet Summit is honoured to feature for the first time in 2012 this very exclusive dinner hosted by the chairman and chief executive officer of Château Latour, Frédéric Engerer. A five course menu will be specially designed and prepared to pair with these special wines by Chef Arnaud Thulliez of the Ritz-Carlton Millenia Hotel, Singapore.
Classified in 1855 as a 1er Grand Cru Classé (First Growth Bordeaux), Château Latour is positioned at the utmost pinnacle of wine excellence. Production of the Grand Vin is amongst the smallest of the First Growths with much of what is made declassified into the also highly regarded second wine, Les Forts de Latour. Robert M. Parker Jr. noted in his book ‘Bordeaux’, “Latour is unquestionably the most consistent of Bordeaux’s first growths...” - maintaining its high quality even in difficult vintages. Often described as powerful, rich, concentrated, slow-maturing and infinitely complex, this is truly the king of wines.
