Tasting notes
An estate that seems to be on an upward trajectory, the 2024 Château Latour A Pomerol is all Merlot aging in 50% new French oak for 12-14 months. Ripe black cherries, darker currants, smoky oak, graphite, and leafy herb notes all shine here. It's medium-bodied, has a pure, layered, elegant mouthfeel, sweet tannins, and outstanding length. It's a solid, forward, charming, straight-up seductive Pomerol that will offer pleasure right out of the gate.

Offering up aromas of dark berries, cherries, petals and violets, the 2024 Latour à Pomerol is medium to full-bodied, velvety and suave, with a layered, fleshy core of fruit, supple tannins and a pure, moderately persistent finish.
Cocoa bean and coffee on the nose, firm blue plum and cassis, confidently made, teasing extraction that almost goes too long but pulls back and delivers mouth watering fruits. Acidity high, in the character of the vintage, but this is one to look out for, particularly after another year of softening ageing. 50% new oak. Harvest 17 to 28 September
The 2024 Latour a Pomerol is plush, fruity and very easy to like. A blast of dark cherry, plum, cedar, spice and tobacco makes a strong opening statement. Racy and forward, with terrific presence, Latour a Pomerol is terrific. It's a wine that perfectly captures what was possible in 2024, without trying to be too much. Commendable.
