With hand-picked fruit from a site close to the church of Pomerol, this wine is stunning. The blend is 90% Merlot, with the rest being Cabernet. First tasted with Emeric from Vinectar and was blown away. Ripe red fruit and subtle oak, unmistakably Bordeaux, dryish finish. Such a pleasure to drink.

Esteemed appellations like Margaux produce wonderfully rich yet tannic wines with generous acidity, fruit and smoothness. Flavours of dried Sultanas and Dates in the background behind a just ripe Plummy taste to the fore. This wine comes into its own when served with food, particularly roasted red meats.
