Sichel Pomerol 2021  £34.45

Sichel Pomerol

'The Pomerol appellation, the smallest in the Bordeaux wine region, is located in the Libournais sub-region and covers approximately 800 hectares. The first vines of Pomerol date from the Gallo-Roman era. With world-renowned Châteaux, it has never wanted to depend on a classification, unlike its neighbour Saint-Émilion. Nature has endowed it with an exceptional terroir which has earned it a prestigious appellation for red wines, despite its small area.'

Tasting Notes:

Wine with a beautiful, dense purple color. The nose is powerful with notes of black fruits, blueberries and blackcurrants, with nuances of black pepper. There are also fine aromas of vanilla and toast. On the palate the wine is full and fleshy, with a beautiful complexity on a smooth substance. The Merlots, harvested without being over-ripe, offer both roundness, delicate and crunchy flesh and a grain that harmoniously coats the tannins that give this wine length and structure. This wine reveals all the complexity, richness and charm for which Pomerol wines are renowned.

A typical wine of its appellation. 

Ageing:

A very fine success that will have to wait at least 2 years after its vintage for the most impatient and which of course has good aging potential.

Blend:

85% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc et 3% Malbec

13.5% Vol.
