The 2023 vintage in Pomerol
Vintage benchmark: 92/100 (appellation benchmark, not a score for this wine)
Vintage character: Mildew cost a good share of the harvest; what was brought in is early, fresh and promising.
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
A fine garnet color. A lovely freshness that perfectly balances the wine and lengthens the palate. The nose of ripe fruit, accompanied by a floral note recalling peony, is confirmed on the palate with aromas of cherry and blueberry. An elegant wine to which ageing will bring silkiness and complexity.
Blend of the 2023 vintage
Merlot (89%), Cabernet Franc (7%), Cabernet Sauvignon (4%)
