The 2015 vintage in Pomerol
Vintage benchmark: 98/100 (appellation benchmark, not a score for this wine)
Vintage character: A hot summer refreshed by August rains gave the great Right Bank vintage: sublime, built on fruit and depth.
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.
Blend of the 2015 vintage
- 85 % Merlot
- 15 % Cabernet franc
Shares for this vintage, as recorded on the 2015 technical sheet. The vineyard itself is planted with 85 % merlot, 15 % cabernet franc — a vintage blend departs from the area under vine as the year dictates.
