Delivery until Fall 2028!

(Pomerol; 100% Merlot; 14% ABV; tasted at Bélair Monange). Often something of a weathervane wine in the Moueix line-up: when it's good, so too is the series and, in general, the vintage. It's excellent here. We have something very true to the heart and soul of Moueix Pomerol, with a most divine and quite floral aromatic profile, a trace of cedar and lovely, plump damson and dark berry fruit. Patchouli too. This is most engaging on the palate, with the softest and most gentle of tannins, and a sinuous and fluid freshness that is captivating. Interestingly, tasted blind I'd believe there to be Cabernet in the blend, such is the freshness and florality on display here. Very pretty and very refined, but don't mistake this for a wine without aging potential – it's just that the tannins are so refined as to render this highly accessible already.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2025 Latour à Pomerol (100% Merlot) bounds out of the glass with ready-to-go notes of baked blackberries and stewed plums, leading to an undercurrent of sandalwood, mint tea, and forest floor. The medium- to full-bodied palate delivers a sturdy frame of chewy tannins and refreshing acidity to match the generous, stewed black fruit flavors, finishing earthy. This is aging in French oak barrels for 12–14 months, 50% new
92-94/100 Lisa Perrotti-Brown

Grilled sandalwood, incense, cassis and damson fruits, with salted cracker salinity adding juice ad expansion. A wine that will benefit from ageing in terms of softening the oak character. 50% new oak. Harvest September 1-13. Harvest September 1 to 13.
92/100 Jane Anson

A round and creamy nose with savoury elements is followed by a well built fruity taste with lots of blackberries and cassis. This château has been producing better and better wines in recent years and the 2025 is no exception. It is fine and well structured, very elegant and juicy, ending with fine peppery notes with hints of chocolate. This will be interesting to follow.
