A very pretty and solid 2017 with chewy tannins and clean and focused fruit. Compacted and tight. Shows excellent potential.
Score: 92-93 James Suckling (JS), JamesSuckling.com, April 2018
The 2017 Latour à Pomerol is dense, powerful and quite rich in feel. Dark red cherry, plum, smoke, licorice, new leather and tobacco add aromatic intrigue, but it is the wine´s huge center of fruit and structure that stand out most. There is a real weight and sense of gravitas to the Latour à Pomerol in 2017. I loved it. Tasted two times.
Score: 91-94 Antonio Galloni (AG), Vinous Media (VM), May 2018
The deep garnet-purple colored 2017 Latour à Pomerol is 100% Merlot with pretty notions of red roses, potpourri and lavender over a core of red currants, black cherries and blueberries plus hints of baking spices and forest floor. The palate is medium-bodied and grainy with approachable tannins, invigorating freshness and bags of fruit, finishing on a spicy note.
All the Ets Jean-Pierre Moueix wines are final blends. According to the company’s president, Christian Moueix, most of their frost damage happened within Lalande de Pomerol. At Château de Bel-Air in Lalande de Pomerol, there is absolutely no production this year. The lower parts of Pomerol are down by around 33%, including Châteaux Plince, Lagrange, Lafleur-Gazin and Bourgneuf.
Score: 92-94 Lisa Perrotti-Brown (LPB), The Wine Advocate (WA), April 2018
The 2017 Latour à Pomerol has a fragrant bouquet with vivacious red cherry and crushed strawberry scents, a touch of dried violet petals and an underlying citrus note that becomes more prominent with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle grip on the entry, fine mineralité and density with a structured, quite masculine yet fresh finish that lingers in the mouth. Could this be the dark horse from J-P Moueix? It is not the most winsome of barrel samples that I tasted from Pomerol and yet I admire its density. Its sullenness is perversely quite compelling!
