Description

"Very plush and gorgeous. Velvety texture and ripe but not excessively sweet. Great balance and pure precocious Pomerol. Very obviously Pomerol with that iron streak running through the velvet glove, to mix my metaphors. Drink 2018 - 2024. 16.5 points." (Jancis Robinson)

Thienpont Wine

The Thienponts are a well-established Flemish family from Belgium. Camille Thienpont started a wine merchant business in Etikhove in 1842. By the beginning of the 20th century, the wine business was run by Georges Thienpont who travelled regularly to Bordeaux to purchase wines. In 1921 he bought Château Troplong Mondot, followed 3 years later by the magnificent Vieux Château Certan . Today, Jacques Thienpont and his wife run the much-expanded business aided by their nephew Alexander De Raeymaeker.

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.
