Tasting Notes and Scores
This steps into an elite league of Pomerol class and concentration, whilst still exuding freshness and transparency. It is a great vintage for Latour à Pomerol. Smells of pristine lightly spiced blueberries and plums and leads to intense flavors of red plums and red cherries cloaked in perfectly integrated spicy oak. Long, regal tannins that are seamless. This is clearly the best Latour à Pomerol for over 30 years. Try from 2023.

The 2015 Latour à Pomerol is fabulous. Super-ripe red cherry, mint, crushed herbs, licorice and tobacco are all woven together in a fabric of pure and total class as this powerful, explosive Pomerol shows off its arresting beauty. As gorgeous as the 2015 is today, it also is going to need at least a number of years in bottle to be at its very best. The fusion of power and sensuality makes for a compelling Pomerol that is going to drink well for several decades. The 2015 has much to say, all it needs is time. vinous.com, February 2018

This opens up with beautiful crystalline red fruit and a touch of rose. Perhaps uncharacteristically this is very delicate. The palate is light of foot, elegant and loaded with exotic spices. There is a beautiful balance here, incredibly fine tannin leading into a wonderful finish, which is not as concentrated as expected. Very good and such great value.

One of the blockbusters in the Moueix portfolio is the 2015 Latour A Pomerol. A blend of 96% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc offers full-bodied richness and a ripe, opulent personality that’s already hard to resist. With classic notes of black cherries, bouquet garni, bay leaf and spicy oak, it has gorgeous purity of fruit, sweet tannin, and is a classic Pomerol in the making. Give bottles 2-3 years and enjoy over the following two decades.

The 2015 Latour a Pomerol builds on its potential from barrel with a fantastic bouquet: beautifully defined blackberry, briary, cold wet limestone and light wild heather aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and superb delineation—this is so focused and tensile, yet the finish shows immense panache and you will not be able to resist that silky smooth finish. Bon vin!
Neal Martin
Starts with a bright, fresh floral note followed by a range of fig, cherry and plum compote flavors. Becomes progressively denser and fleshier through the finish, with melted licorice, loam and roasted apple wood details taking over, ending with a long swath of all the elements pulled together. For the cellar.
Wine Spectator
A blend of 96% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc, the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2015 Latour à Pomerol has an earthy/meaty nose of chargrilled meats, fertile loam, fungi and beef drippings over a core of blackberry preserves, cassis and pencil shavings plus a touch of tobacco. Medium to full-bodied, the palate offers tons of savory layers with a firm, chewy structure and a lively line cutting through the tightly wound flavors, finishing long and earthy.

Fleshy black fruits, smoked cumin, turmeric and white pepper spice, even an exotic dash of fragrant incense. There is flesh here, full-bodied through the mid palate and still with grip and Pomerol signature, just a flash of heat showing the fingerprint of vintage. In its drinking window at the ten year point.

A Moueix-managed estate which has shown great improvement in recent years after many decades in the wilderness. Quite dense, chocolatey, ripe plum nose. Sweet hit of fruit, ripe black cherry, plum, damson. Freshness and minerality. Good length. (96% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc.)
Bordeaux Index
A Jean-Pierre Moueix wine. 9 ha (22 acres) of gravel, clay and sand. 96% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc.
Mid crimson. Very aromatic and lifted. Very juicy and satisfying even if not that intense.
