From Château Prieurs de la Commanderie in France's Pomerol appellation on Bordeaux's Right Bank, the Pomerol Rouge 2018 is a refined 100% Merlot sourced from the estate's clay-gravel soils that impart inimitable plushness and structure.
Hand-harvested grapes undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled vats, followed by aging in oak barrels to enhance integration and finesse, reflecting the Fayat family's investment in quality since acquiring the property in 1984.
Tasting Notes A supple, rewarding Pomerol with mocha, toasty pistachio, and berry tart aromas, medium-to-full-bodied with silky soft tannins, chocolate cherries, orange peel, and delicate spices, enticing for another sip from clay-gravel soils. The nose reveals mocha, toasty pistachio, and berry tart. On the palate, it is supple and bright, with a seamless, captivating medium-long finish of chocolate cherries, orange peel, cocoa powder, vanilla nuts, delicate spices, and cedar, with silky soft, dusty tannins and light oak flavor.
Awards and Accolades The 2018 Pomerol Rouge earned 92 points from James Suckling for its supple and rewarding character that entices for another sip.
Serving and Cellaring Serve at 16-18°C with 45-60 minutes of decanting to enhance aromas. Ideal with roasted lamb, game, or aged cheeses. Enjoy now through 2033, developing greater leather and earthy nuances over time.
