Description

The colour is deep and opaque, the disk a brilliant purple. The nose first offers aromas of black fruit, cherry, blackberry, wild blueberry. After swirling there are some floral notes of wallflower and violet. In the mouth, the attack is remarkably well structured with smooth, velvety tannins, then the mid-palate is denser, bringing tension and a flavoursome character. There is real harmony in the appetising, fresh finish. The crisp, refined tannins, the persistent fruity notes and the natural elegance of the balance all come together to make this vintage a magnificent expression of our great Pomerol terroirs.

Chateau La Pointe

Located deep in the Languedoc of France, facing the Mediterranean, in the La Clape massif, one of the sunniest places in France. Ideally exposed, the terroirs of La Négly and Boède are distinguished by the diversity of their soils. The soil of Boède is sandy loam and sandstone, while that of Négly is clay-limestone, which gives the wines from these vineyards a wide aromatic pallet. The wines are renowned for their saline/coastal character with lots of freshness and minerality.

Bordeaux

Bordeaux, one of the most prestigious wine regions in the world, is located in southwestern France and is celebrated for its exceptional wines. It benefits from a temperate maritime climate, influenced by the nearby Atlantic Ocean, providing ideal conditions for viticulture. It is particularly renowned for its red wines, primarily blends of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, offering rich, complex flavours and excellent ageing potential. Notable sub-regions include Médoc, Saint-Émilion, and Pomerol. Bordeaux also produces exquisite white wines, both dry, from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, and sweet, from the Sauternes and Barsac areas. The region's unique terroir, combined with centuries-old winemaking traditions, results in wines of unparalleled quality and distinction. Bordeaux remains a must-visit destination for wine enthusiasts seeking world-class wines and a rich viticultural heritage.
