Description
Château Latour à Pomerol is a leading wine estate in the Pomerol appellation, located on the right bank of the Bordeaux region. The château takes its name from the characteristic tower that adorns the elegant building. In 1917, the property was acquired by Madame Edmond Loubat, who at the time was also the owner of the famous Château Pétrus. Since 1962, the estate has been managed by Établissements Jean-Pierre Moueix, a renowned wine merchant specializing in the wines of the right bank of Bordeaux. In 2024, the Château officially became the property of the Moueix family (including Petrus), who had been involved in the management of the estate since 1962.
The estate covers approximately 8 hectares, planted almost exclusively with Merlot grapes and a tiny bit of Cabernet Franc. The vineyard is characterised by a diversity of soils: two thirds are deep gravel and clay soils, while the remainder is clay and loam soils. This variation contributes to the complexity and depth of the wines produced. The wines of Château Latour à Pomerol are vinified in concrete vats and then matured in oak barrels. The result is a generous, concentrated wine that combines elegance and power. The Château produces only a Grand Vin and has no second wine, emphasising the focus on quality.

The 2021 Latour à Pomerol delivers a strong showing in bottle, unwinding in the glass to reveal aromas of minty dark berries, licorice, violets and pencil shavings, followed by a medium-bodied, fleshy and suave palate with good depth at the core, lively acids and powdery tannins that have integrated well with élevage.

Plum stones, walnuts, orange rind and dried flowers on the nose. Some mocha and nutmeg. It’s medium- to full-bodied, polished and fragrant, with layers of spiced fruit framed by tight, very fine tannins. Long and evolving. Best from 2026.

From: 2+2=5: Bordeaux 2021 In Bottle (Feb 2024)
The 2021 Latour à Pomerol has manifested a little more refinement on the nose since I tasted it from barrel. It is not exceptionally complex, but there is definition and focus, revealing a mixture of red and black fruit with rosemary and thyme that emerge with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with silky tannins and a keen line of acidity, quite structured with admirable cohesion toward the finish. This has more finesse than expected and after its low-key entry, there is a sense of flourish on the finish.

The 2021 Latour à Pomerol offers good up-front appeal. Sweet red cherry, kirsch, cinnamon, orange peel, new leather and cedar are front and center. The 2021 is an attractive Latour à Pomerol, even if it loses some persistence on the mid-palate and finish.

From: 2021 Bordeaux En Primeur: Back to Classicism (May 2022)
The 2021 Latour à Pomerol is a very beautiful and promising wine. As always, Latour à Pomerol has a distinctive classical strictness to it, and yet the 2021 has just enough mid-palate pliancy to pull it off. Sweet red cherry fruit, blood orange, spice, menthol and dried flowers all grace this very promising, elegant Pomerol.

From: Enticingly Fallible: Bordeaux 2021 En Primeur (May 2022)
The 2021 Latour à Pomerol was picked 23 September to 1 October. Recent vintages have been a tad inconsistent, though I appreciate the aromatics here, cohesive with black cherries, kirsch and maybe just a very slight VA element giving it a kick. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, velvety smooth with modest depth. What is missing is a crescendo on the finish, an instrument restricted to the same few notes. Structured and linear on the finish. Not bad…but give me more (please).
