Château Latour à Pomerol is known for producing generous, concentrated wines that strike a perfect balance between elegance and power.
The vineyard is characterised by the diversity of its soils, which brings complexity and harmony to the wine: gravel and clay for a marvellous parcel next to the church of Pomerol; loam surrounding the château.

The nose is fruity and offers an aromatic power, a small intensity as well as a fine grain. This wine needs to be put in carafe. It reveals notes of Boysenberry, wild small berries and small notes of wild strawberry associated with a subtle hint of crushed cassis as well as slight hints of Cuben pepper, nutmeg and a very discreet hint of tobacco. The palate is fruity, juicy, well-balanced and offers a good definition, gourmandize, a fine fat as well as dynamism. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy/juicy blackberry, juicy cassis and small notes of juicy raspberry associated with a hint of crushed blueberry as well as slight toasted hints, caramelization, chocolate and a subtle hint of almond (in the background). Tannins are elegant and structuring.

The 2017 Latour à Pomerol is a gorgeous wine that is at once deep and yet also super-expressive in its bouquet. Sweet tobacco, dried herbs, mint, pepper and spice give the 2017 striking aromatic presence to play off a core of ripe red cherry fruit. Medium in body yet wonderfully deep and fleshy, the 2017 has so much to offer. I like it as much from bottle as I did from barrel.

Inviting, with incense and warm plum aromas leading the way, followed by velvet-textured blackberry and fig fruit flavors. Ganache, tobacco and warm earth notes fill in through the finish, melding nicely with the fruit. Best from 2022 through 2038. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.

Cedar and mulberry, as well as red-cherry and red-plum aromas here. Stone undertones. This has a very plush, fluid feel with ample tannins, delivered in a smooth, silky and fleshy mode. Bright, red-plum flavors carry long and even. So balanced. Drink or hold

Tannins dominate this dense wine, giving weight to the black fruits and the dark-chocolate flavors. They also boost the blackberry fruits and acidity that bring in the balance to this fine wine. Drink from 2023. - ROGER VOSS
The Wine Cellar Insider: 93 Points
If you're not familiar with this wine in its current incarnation, you're missing out. Starting with 2009, this wine has been on a tear, progressing and improving with every vintage. Even in a difficult year of devastating frost, this is a beauty. There is a silky, plush, velvety quality to the fruit, paired with purity and sweetness that stands out. You should give this 3-5 years or more in the cellar and the wine should hit the top of my range.

Deep garnet-purple in color and composed of 100% Merlot, the 2017 Latour à Pomerol leaps from the glass with expressive scents of baked plums, warm black cherries and boysenberries with wafts of fallen leaves, bouquet garni and fertile loam. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-coating, muscular black fruits with a firm backbone of rounded tannins and a long, minerally finish.- LPB
