Château Latour-a-Pomerol, Pomerol

Managed by the Moueix family — who also oversee Pétrus — Latour-à-Pomerol is one of the appellation's great underrated properties. Its old-vine merlot from gravel and clay soils produces a wine of remarkable depth and refinement, consistently outperforming its modest reputation. In great vintages it achieves a complexity that rivals far more celebrated neighbours. For those who know Pomerol deeply, Latour-à-Pomerol is one of the appellation's most reliable and rewarding addresses.
