About This Wine
Château Latour à Pomerol is a small estate beside the village church of Pomerol, farmed and made by the Moueix house. In 2018 it was bottled as pure Merlot, giving a dark, dense and firmly structured wine from a ripe, sunny year.
It was a generous, sunny vintage on the Right Bank, and the clay on the better parcels helped the vines keep their balance through the summer heat.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Black plum, blackberry and dark chocolate, with coffee, clove and a fresh mint note.
- Palate: Full and dense.
- Finish: Long, earthy and gently spiced.
Serving & Food
Opening up now with a two-hour decant, and should keep improving for another fifteen years or so. Duck breast with cherry sauce, beef Wellington or a mushroom and chestnut pie are good matches.
Good to Know
