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.
