Château Latour à Pomerol

Château Latour à Pomerol, which draws its name from the tower that adorns this charming château, was acquired in 1917 by Mme Loubat—who also famously owned Château Pétrus. Etablissements Jean-Pierre Moueix has farmed the vineyard since 1962.

The vineyard is characterized by the diversity of its soils, which brings complexity and harmony to the wine: gravel and clay for a marvelous parcel next to the church of Pomerol, and loam surrounding the château.

The vineyard receives the exact same meticulous care applied to all J.P. Moueix properties: leaf-thinning and green-harvesting to ensure optimal grape maturity, followed by a selective manual harvest. The wine is fermented in traditional concrete vats before being aged in French oak barrels.

Château Latour à Pomerol is renowned for producing generous, concentrated wines that strike a perfect balance between elegance and power.

Grape Varietals: 100% Merlot (Note: 90% Merlot / 10% Cabernet Franc for vintages prior to 2020)

Soil Type: Deep gravel and clay (2/3), clay and loam (1/3)
