Region and year 2022

2022 was a warm and focused year in Pomerol, with perfectly ripe grapes and wines of depth and richness. At the same time, the best producers managed to maintain freshness and balance. Château Latour à Pomerol presents a powerful yet harmonious interpretation of the vintage in 2022.

Vineyards and grape varieties

The vineyards are located on the famous Pomerol plateau. The 2022 vintage is composed of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc. Merlot provides roundness and creaminess, while Cabernet Franc adds extra tension, aromatic refinement, and structure.

Vinification and maturation

After careful selection, the grapes are traditionally fermented and aged with a focus on integration and finesse. Maturation in oak barrels enhances the creamy texture and depth without overpowering the terroir expression. The result is a wine with both power and elegance.

Color, smell and taste

Deep ruby red in color. The nose offers aromas of sweet cherries, baked plums, and ripe blackberries, complemented by notes of licorice, cigar box, and subtle spice.

The palate is medium to full-bodied, rich, and creamy in texture. The ripe fruit is framed by fine, silky tannins that create a firm yet elegant backbone. The finish is juicy, with a lovely length and a harmonious balance between strength and freshness.
