2018 | Chateau Latour a Pomerol

The 2018 vintage is a wonderfully powerful Merlot with lofty tannins and dark fruited character. Beautifully rich and with excellent aging potential.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2018 Latour à Pomerol is deep garnet-purple colored and offers up beautiful floral notions of lavender and rose hips with a core of black cherries, warm plums and mulberries plus wafts of underbrush, bay leaves and mossy bark. The palate is medium to full-bodied with a muscular core of densely packed black fruits with bright, herbal sparks and framed by firm, grainy tannins, finishing earthy.

• James Suckling: Beautiful blackberry and blueberry aromas with hints of spices and wild mushrooms. Full-bodied with tight, firm and silky tannins.

Producer Information

Château Latour à Pomerol is a leading wine estate producing much-coveted wines in the Pomerol appellation of northeastern Bordeaux, on the so-called "right bank" of the Dordogne river. It is named as such to distinguish it from the first growth Château Latour (on the Left Bank of the Garonne estuary in Pauillac). Latour à Pomerol is credited with producing some of Bordeaux's all-time great wines made predominantly from Merlot in the legendary post World War II vintages. More recent vintages were considered variable in quality by many critics, though from 2009 there seems to have been a return to more consistent top form. The estate has eight hectares (20 acres) of vineyards, planted predominantly to Merlot with around 10 percent Cabernet Franc. There are two plots with distinct soils – the best plot is gravel-based while the other has more sandy soils. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented in temperature-controlled concrete and stainless steel vats. The wines are then matured in small oak barrels, around half of which are new, for around 18 months.
