Red Wine: 2007 | Chateau Latour a Pomerol

Very nice red plum and ripe cherry fruit, and a seamless, refined oak background. The palate has a dry, but fine tannic grip, but again the rich, sweet concentration of plummy fruit is beautifully balanced.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2007 Latour-à-Pomerol has a well-defined bouquet with earthy red berry fruit mixed with orange blossom and strawberry pastilles. There is commendable definition here, if not the vigor of a top vintage. The palate has a savory, almost dried blood tincture on the entry. There is fine tension and impressive harmony leading to a poised and autumnal finish.

Producer Information

Château Latour à Pomerol is a leading wine estate producing much-coveted wines in the Pomerol appellation of northeastern Bordeaux, on the so-called “right bank” of the Dordogne river. It is named as such to distinguish it from the first growth Château Latour (on the Left Bank of the Garonne estuary in Pauillac). Latour à Pomerol is credited with producing some of Bordeaux’s all-time great wines made predominantly from Merlot in the legendary post World War II vintages. More recent vintages were considered variable in quality by many critics, though from 2009 there seems to have been a return to more consistent top form. The estate has eight hectares (20 acres) of vineyards, planted predominantly to Merlot with around 10 percent Cabernet Franc. There are two plots with distinct soils – the best plot is gravel-based while the other has more sandy soils. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented in temperature-controlled concrete and stainless steel vats. The wines are then matured in small oak barrels, around half of which are new, for around 18 months.
