Château Latour à Pomerol is situated near the church of Pomerol on a plateau 130 feet above sea level, where the best grapes of the region are cultivated. It is a winegrowing estate consisting of two main plots: one with light, loam-based soils, which is adjacent to the well-known Chateau La Grave à Pomerol estate, and the other with deep beds of gravel and clay. This is the perfect environment for the vines, which have an average age of 35 years or more, to produce grapes with a diverse spectrum of flavours, thus imparting a complex and appealing structure to the resulting wine.
"Dense, opaque ruby colour. The nose is subdued, carapaced, frustratingly elusive, hinting at profundity. The palate by contrast is beautiful, with a fresh silken density, simple at first but then the flavours balloon effortlessly in the mouth offering concentration, depth and super length. A C&B favourite."
