2024 Ch Latour à Pomerol, Pomerol

DUE OCT/NOV 2027

Intense, concentrated, muscular, this is very much a textural powerhouse, not looking generous right now, think chamomile tea, cassis bud, crayon, slate, oyster shell salinity, gunsmoke and steel, with lean blue fruits. Should be an earlier drinking Latour than some vintages, although there is latent power here, and this wine has the unquestionable ability to grow in stature with a few years in bottle. 44% of the production. 5,5% press wine. Harvest September 19 through to October 9. 100% new oak for ageing. 5.5% press. 76IPT. New AI optical sorting machine in the cellar. Hélène Genin technical director. 11hl/ha yield.
