Description:

Nowadays, Château Latour à Pomerol is one of the historical properties of the appellation and its events reflect the history of the region.
Although one of Bordeaux’s best known and most renowned appellations today, the AOC Pomerol actually has a very unique history compared to the other prestigious names in the region. Pomerol is located on the “Right Bank” of Bordeaux, near St. Emilion. While the latter was already renowned for viticulture at the time of the Romans, the first traces of some vineyards in the nearby region of Pomerol date back perhaps to the end of the Middle Age. Little by little, and in particular in the 18th century, wine production begins and, with it, the raise of local Châteaus, including Château Latour à Pomerol, which owes its name to the elegant tower built on the property.
The history of this production is intertwined with that of the nearby Château Petrus: it was bought by the same owners in 1917 and 1962, and still today it is managed by Moueix, who also runs Château Petrus. Differently from Château Petrus, though, the property was donated in 2002 to the “Fondation de Foyers de Charité de Châteauneuf de Galaure”. The company produces a single label which, like all the wines of the appellation, does not present “categorizations” as Pomerol, due to its relatively young history and its very limited extension, is the only AOC not to have provided a “crus” classification. The soils are equally representative of the appellation: gravel and clay in the plot near the Church of Pomerol, where the most prestigious vineyards are located, silt near the main building. The variety of soils, and therefore of expressions in the different vintages, has long been a critical point for Latour wines, often accused of inconsistency. However, at the same time, this apparent disadvantage is also an important characteristic: in the best vintages, the wines have attracted the attention of the greatest international critics for their excellence. 2009 is undoubtedly one of the great products of this property: new choices in the cellar add to the successful vintage, to give one of the surprises of this region and of this winery, still at an excellent quality-price ratio.


Tasting Notes and Pairing:
Rich aromas of ripe fruit, typical of both the Château style and the vintage, an opulent, soft and sumptuous texture, supported by a firm but elegant tannin, notes of sweet spices, tobacco and a bright minerality. Excellent for long aging.
To pair with a cut of meat cooked in a simple way: a pork rib or a lamb chop.
Suggested serving temperature:
16-18 °C
Suggestion to open it about 1 to 2 hours before serving it. And let it breath in the glass as well.
in the vineyard:
Sustainable agriculture, manual harvest.
Production method and aging:
Fermentation in stainless steel and concrete tanks at a controlled temperature. 16-18 months aging in wood (40% new).
