Launching our new Wine Collection next week!
Latour à Pomerol, which draws its name from the tower that adorns this charming château, was acquired by Mme Loubat, who also owned Château Petrus, in 1917. Etablissements Jean-Pierre Moueix has farmed the vineyard since 1962.
The vineyard is characterised by the diversity of its soils, which brings complexity and harmony to the wine: gravel and clay for a marvellous parcel next to the church of Pomerol; loam surrounding the château
​
The vineyard receives the same care applied to all the J.P. Moueix properties: leaf-thinning and green-harvesting to allow for optimal grape maturity followed by a manual harvest. The wine ferments in concrete vats before being aged in oak barrels.
​
Château Latour à Pomerol is known for producing generous, concentrated wines that strike a perfect balance between elegance and power.

“Since 1962, the wines at Latour à Pomerol have been utterly classic examples of the commune, with pure, succulent and plummy fruit, coupled to lovely soil tones, often a nice dollop of chocolate, plenty of cigar-oriented nuances, and with enough bottle age, loads of black truffles in the personality of the wines. ”

Château Latour à Pomerol
​
Château Latour à Pomero is known for producing generous, concentrated wines that strike a perfect balance between elegance and power.
​
“Where would I place Latour à Pomerol in the context of the other top properties on the Right Bank? It is probably right up there with estates such as Château l’Evangile, Château La Conseillante and Château Certan de May, to place it in its proper context of top domaines in the commune.”

​
The grapes (90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc) are hand-harvested and then fermented in temperature controlled concrete vats. The wine is then matured in small oak barrels (50% new) for 18 months. It is bottled unfiltered. Latour á Pomerol produces sumptuous, meaty, concentrated and full-bodied Pomerols that often require at least 10 years of cellaring. In the context of other top class Pomerols, they remain under-priced.
