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.
"Deepest ruby in colour. The nose is carapaced with just a few flashes of latent, profound, darkest red, earthy fruit. The palate has a quality that I always associate with great wine, a layered impression of flavours rolling out across the palate. Silkily dry in its concentration (well below the more obvious juicy fruit) this is compacted in structure, fresh, elegantly flavoured and very long. That length balloons in the mouth rather impressively."
