Despite the Latour of its name, this estate has no connection with the Latour estate in Pauillac, being instead more connected to Chateau Petrus. Perhaps Latour refers to the small tower embellishing the charming chateau close to the village church in Pomerol. Madame Loubat who assembled the estate from various properties in 1917 was the owner of Ch Petrus at the time. It then passed to her niece in 1961, but was then farmed since 1962 by Ets JP Moueix (see also entry on Christian Moueix)whose now portfolio of properties include Ch Petrus. The estate has now been donated to Fondation de Foyers de Charité de Châteauneuf de Galaure in 2002.
