Delivery until Fall 2027!

Rich sweet damson and raspberry fruit, vanilla bean, caramel, the gourmet side of Pomerol is checking in, which we have missed in many, the tannins are sleek and well extracted, no dilution through the palate, good job. No need to wait too long - a good introduction to this property. 35hl/ha yield. Ronan Laborde owner. Tasted twice.

(Pomerol; 80% Merlot; 20% Cabernet Franc; a final yield of 38 hl/ha; 13% alcohol; tasted twice, first at the UGC press tasting at the Cité du Vin). This I really like. It’s very true to its identity and also to its terroir signature, if actually a little closer stylistically to L’Eglise-Clinet than it used to be. Intensely floral, with beautiful notes of violet and essence of violet. A touch of dark chocolate. Black cherry, blueberry and walnut oil. Toasted brioche. Cedar, cedar and more cedar. I love the aromatics. On the palate it’s more ample on the attack than as it evolves, with the tannins, always beady and grainy, taking the fruit in charge. That gives this quite a dynamic sense of structure missing in all but the best wines of the vintage. Really excellent. A great success. Approachable young but with considerable aging potential.

Deep garnet-purple colored. After a little swirling, notes of fresh blackberries and black cherries hop from the glass, followed by touches of cedar, wild sage, and pencil lead. The light to medium-bodied palate is bright and chewy with just enough freshness and a savory finish.
