Acquired in 1917 by Mrs. Loubat, the then famous proprietor of Pétrus, the vineyard was owned by her niece, Mrs. Lacoste, for 40 years before she donated it to the Fondation de Foyers de Charité de Châteauneuf de Galaure in 2002.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"c1\"\u003eThe vineyard, with an average age of 35 years, is characterised by its soil diversity: rather loamy soil around the château itself and more gravelly and clayey on the best blocks near the church. Farming the property since 1962, Ets. Jean-Pierre MOUEIX brings the usual care and expertise to the vineyard - which was entirely replanted after the 1956 frost - and also to the cellar. After a gentle fermentation in concrete tanks, the young wine is aged in 33% new oak barrels. Between elegance, power and smoothness, the wines of Château Latour à Pomerol show a perfect balance.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"chateau-latour-a-pomerol-bordeaux","title":"Château Latour à Pomerol 2016","description":"\u003cp\u003eLatour à Pomerol, which draws its name from the tower that adorns this charming château, was acquired by Mme Loubat, who also owned Château Petrus, in 1917. Établissements Jean-Pierre Moueix has farmed the vineyard since 1962. The vineyard is characterised by the diversity of its soils, which brings complexity and harmony to the wine: gravel and clay from a marvellous parcel next to the church of Pomerol; and loam surrounding the château. The vineyard receives the same care applied to all the J.P. Moueix properties: leaf-thinning and green-harvesting to allow for optimal grape maturity followed by a manual harvest. The wine ferments in concrete vats before being aged in oak barrels.
