Pomerol is the smallest appellation in Bordeaux, with conversely one of the biggest premium reputations. The elevated plateau holds rich clay soils complementing the sandy soils of side slopes. Pomerol wines are renowned for their intense and powerful style compared to other Merlot-based Bordeaux wines.
This Pomerol from Vieux Chateau Brun is pure elegance. At its peak right now, it shows fruity aromas of blackcurrant, raspberry jam, baked plum alongside forest notes, truffle, tobacco and leather. The palate is soft and silky, with a flowing finish. Try with grilled or roasted beef, lamb, pork or game, vegetable casseroles, baked pasta dishes, or mature cheeses.
Pomerol producers work carefully to maintain wine and vineyard quality, with controlled yields and a willingness to minimise intervention, allowing grapes to express their unique plots. 70% of vineyards hold Merlot plantings, 25% cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc.
