Château la Pointe Pomerol 2020

Beautiful deep plum in colour, purity of black fruit expression, along with generous plump blueberry and black cherry. Strikingly concentrated but welcoming, with touches of chocolate shavings. I suggest waiting for four or five years, because there are good acidities and tannins here, and it will go the distance. A 23ha estate set across gravel, sand and clay soils, with a lot of the work tcarried out to encourage microbial life in the soils to build structure in the lighter areas of the vineyard. Technical manager Pierre Candelier, Eric de Monneret director, Hubert de Boüard consultant, 50% new oak, 3.65ph, 38hl/ha yield.
