Château Latour à Pomerol 2021 - Elegance and depth from one of Pomerol’s quiet legends. Crafted entirely from Merlot, this graceful vintage unfolds with aromas of plum, violets, and spice lifted by hints of orange zest and mocha. The palate is supple yet structured, offering layers of red and dark fruit framed by ultra-fine, powdery tannins. Polished and pure, it captures the finesse and precision that define Latour à Pomerol’s timeless style—a wine of quiet power and enduring charm.

Plum stones, walnuts, orange rind and dried flowers on the nose. Some mocha and nutmeg. It’s medium- to full-bodied, polished and fragrant, with layers of spiced fruit framed by tight, very fine tannins. Long and evolving. Best from 2026.

Red berries and herbal strawberry leaf on the nose. Smooth and supple, a nice energy to this straight away, juicy core with slightly metallic tannins that coat the mouth and give the frame. Delicate in style but still with lots of flavour. Refined and well worked, it's missing the plushness that can be so brilliant at this estate but there is good fruit vibrancy and clarity and this has character. I like it. Feels serious albeit with no heaviness. Tannins are good and feels like the ageing and oak treatment was right.

The 2021 Latour à Pomerol delivers a strong showing in bottle, unwinding in the glass to reveal aromas of minty dark berries, licorice, violets and pencil shavings, followed by a medium-bodied, fleshy and suave palate with good depth at the core, lively acids and powdery tannins that have integrated well with élevage.

100% Merlot. Cask sample.
Ripe, fleshy and aromatic, the tannins light but finely honed. Less intensity and excitement but will probably develop further in the bottle.
