Summary

Where Pomerol's legendary plateau meets three centuries of winemaking excellence, Château Latour à Pomerol commands eight precious hectares of Bordeaux's most coveted terroir, crafting investment-grade wines that define Right Bank mastery. This historic estate stands among Pomerol's aristocracy, neighboring Château Clinet and Trotanoy on the hallowed grounds surrounding the village church.

The vineyard's distinctive terroir combines deep gravel beds with the famous 'crasse de fer' - iron-rich blue clay that imparts extraordinary complexity and mineral precision to every vintage. Under the visionary guidance of winemaker Hélène Genin, Château Latour à Pomerol continues a legacy of uncompromising excellence that began when Madame Loubat acquired the property in 1917.

Genin's meticulous approach honors traditional Pomerol winemaking while embracing modern precision, ensuring each vintage captures the estate's unique terroir expression.

Her philosophy centers on minimal intervention, allowing the exceptional vineyard sites to speak through wines of remarkable depth and elegance.

The estate's flagship wine represents pure Pomerol artistry, crafted from 90% Merlot with carefully selected Cabernet Franc parcels. These ultra-premium wines showcase the plateau's distinctive character through layers of dark fruit, exotic spices, and mineral complexity that evolve magnificently over decades.

Production remains deliberately limited, with each bottle representing a piece of Pomerol history. Critics consistently award the wines exceptional scores, cementing their status as collectible treasures sought by connoisseurs worldwide. Visiting Château Latour à Pomerol offers an intimate glimpse into Pomerol's winemaking heritage, though access remains exclusive and by appointment only.

The estate's traditional cellars and historic vineyard parcels provide an authentic Bordeaux experience away from commercial tourism. Private tastings reveal the nuanced differences between vineyard blocks, showcasing how terroir variations create complexity in the final blend.

Guests experience the meticulous attention to detail that defines great Pomerol winemaking. Secure your allocation of these extraordinary Pomerol wines through The En Primeur Club's exclusive access.
