Tasting note
品飲筆記:酒色深沉,散發黑梅、黑櫻桃與深色莓果的豐富香氣,夾帶一抹紫羅蘭與礦物感,並有可可、微苦咖啡和煙燻葉片的底層風味。口感飽滿而不笨重,果實濃郁而多汁,酸度鮮明帶出張力,單寧細緻如絲,與溫和的橡木香氣相互襯托,收結長而有層次。酒莊與田地:拉圖波美侯以城堡上的塔命名,歷史可溯至1917年由 Madame Loubat 收購,1962 年起由 Jean‑Pierre Moueix 家族耕種,並於2024年完成入主。葡萄園土壤多樣:靠近教堂的砂礫與黏土地塊賦予結構與深度,環繞城堡的壤土帶來圓潤與和諧,這種拼貼式的地塊造就了兼具力量與優雅的風格。釀造方式:採用控溫混凝土與不鏽鋼發酵槽,進行輕柔、受控的浸皮與萃取,之後以法國橡木桶(約50%新桶)陳年12–14個月,讓香料與果實緊密融合。建議醒酒約一小時,搭配烤羊排、紅肉或帶有蘑菇、松露的濃郁菜餚最佳。
Tasting Note: Deep, opaque ruby with a complex bouquet of black plum, blackberry and cassis threaded with violet florals, graphite and a touch of smoked espresso. On the palate it is concentrated and plush yet energetic — ripe dark fruit core, lively mineral-tinged acidity, silky fine-grained tannins and layered oak spice leading to a long, cocoa-tinged finish. Producer Notes: Latour à Pomerol takes its name from the tower beside the château. The property was acquired by Madame Loubat in 1917 and farmed by Établissements Jean-Pierre Moueix since 1962; the family completed acquisition in 2024. Vineyard Notes: Soils are remarkably diverse across the holding — gravel and clay parcels near the village church give structure and depth, while surrounding loam contributes roundness and harmony, producing wines with both power and finesse. Winemaking & Ageing: Fermented in thermo-regulated concrete and stainless steel vats with gentle, controlled maceration and extraction. Aged 12–14 months in French oak barrels (approximately 50% new) to integrate spice and toast without overpowering the fruit. Drinking Window: 2025–2050. Serve after roughly 60 minutes of decanting for best aromatic lift and palate balance.
