Les Forts de Latour takes its name from a historic parcel in the "Enclos". The wine was first released with this name in 1966. The constant development of its quality has led to it reaching the level of a Médoc Grand Cru Classé.

The Forts de Latour is made with the same care as the Grand Vin, both in the vineyard and in the winery. The only differences lie in the origin of the grapes, the proportion of new barrels and the higher proportion of Merlot (25-30%).
