List of products by brand CHÂTEAU LATOUR A POMEROL
Château Latour à Pomerol represents something quietly compelling about Pomerol: an 8-hectare plot on the Gironde plateau, tended with discipline for well over a century, and now fully in the hands of Établissements Jean-Pierre Moueix after a long and intertwined history.
A plateau terroir of gravel and clay
The vineyard of Château Latour à Pomerol extends across 8 hectares on the celebrated plateau of Pomerol, in the commune of Pomerol, Gironde. The soils divide broadly into two characters: approximately two-thirds gravel and clay, which lend structure and depth, and one-third silty-clay, which contributes suppleness and aromatic generosity. This combination, sitting on the elevated plateau that defines the finest addresses in the appellation, gives the wines a particular balance — firm enough to age, yet rounded and accessible in their youth. The exposure across the plateau ensures even ripening, a quality that Moueix's viticulture has long sought to express with precision rather than excess.
A history shaped by Madame Loubat and the Moueix family
The château's modern story begins in 1917, when Madame Loubat acquired the property, establishing it as one of the notable addresses on the right bank. Following her death, the estate passed by bequest to a charitable foundation, and from 1962 the Établissements Jean-Pierre Moueix assumed management under a farming lease — a relationship that would endure for over six decades. During that period, Moueix brought to Château Latour à Pomerol the same exacting standards applied across their celebrated Pomerol and Saint-Émilion portfolio. In 2024, the Moueix family completed the acquisition of full ownership, formalising a stewardship that had in practice never wavered. It is a continuity rare in Bordeaux, and one that speaks directly to the character of the wines.
Encépagement and winemaking
The vineyard is planted to Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the classic partnership of the Pomerol appellation. Merlot dominates, as is customary on the plateau, delivering the plush, iron-tinged fruit that defines the appellation's identity. Cabernet Franc provides structure, lift, and a floral precision that prevents the wine from tipping into mere opulence. The winemaking under Moueix reflects the house philosophy: measured intervention, respect for the terroir, and an élevage calibrated to reveal rather than impose.

Why we have selected Château Latour à Pomerol
At Halles Quercamps, we have listed Château Latour à Pomerol for three reasons that matter to us as merchants. First, the terroir is genuinely distinguished: the gravel-and-clay plateau soils of Pomerol are among the most expressive on the right bank, and this château sits squarely within that privileged zone. Second, the continuity of Moueix stewardship — over sixty years of unbroken management before formal ownership — gives the wines a consistency that is increasingly difficult to find in Bordeaux. Third, the château offers a serious, intellectually satisfying introduction to the Pomerol appellation without the stratospheric prices of its most famous neighbours.
We recommend these wines to confirmed Bordeaux enthusiasts looking to deepen their understanding of Pomerol, and to those building a cellar with an eye for quality and provenance. At the table, the red pairs superbly with roast lamb, duck confit, or a well-aged hard cheese — dishes that meet the wine's structure without overwhelming its subtlety.
