Chateau Latour a Pomerol,
For laying down,
A strong effort with nearly 14% natural alcohol, this 2011 exhibits abundant notes of black cherries and black currants intertwined with hints of mulberries, damp earth, licorice and cedar. Evolved, ripe, medium-bodied and surprisingly rich, intense and savory for the vintage, it should drink nicely for 10-15 years. It is a sleeper of the vintage.

Chateau Latour a Pomerol,
Ready, but will improve,
Like in many years this wine exhibits a wonderful concentration of dark fruits, with bags of tannin and a firm structure. Like all the best 2008's the fruit is beguiling, juicy and seductive, without any hints of green under ripe fruit. Expect this wine to reward long term cellaring. Very good indeed. 2015-2030

Château Latour à Pomerol is one of the leading Pomerol properties and is now run and administered by Jean-Pierre Moueix of Pétrus and Trotanoy fame.
Latour à Pomerol consists of just under 8 hectares of vineyards split in to two plots: the first is known as Les Grandes Vignes and is located on a gravel outpost next to the Church of Pomerol. The second plot lies on sandy, lighter soils and is to be found on the western side of the Pomerol plateau.
Latour a Pomerol's 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 underpriced.
