The 2021 vintage in Pomerol
Vintage benchmark: 85/100 (appellation benchmark, not a score for this wine)
Vintage character: Frost followed by a cool summer brought back classic wines, lighter and more taut, to be drunk in their youth.
Overall reading of the year’s season across Pomerol. An estate can depart from it sharply, in frost or hail years, where two neighbours did not make the same vintage. What this particular wine actually gave is on its technical sheet and in the scores above.
Tasting
"This 2021 will remain engraved in our memories by a very important and very precise human commitment; in particularly on our important clay-gravel soils which produce great wines. Freshness, complexity and elegance are the hallmarks of this very fine vintage."
