2003 | Chateau Le Bon Pasteur | Pomerol

The fresh, lively, full-bodied, opulent 2003 Bon Pasteur reveals the best of this terroir, which, while not the finest of Pomerol, is exploited brilliantly by Dany and Michel Rolland. A deep plum/ruby purple hue shows little lightening at the edge, and the bouquet offers lots of licorice, mocha, black cherry and cassis aromas. This full-bodied, youthful yet delicious 2003 has another decade of aging in it.

Producer Information

Château Le Bon Pasteur is a Pomerol estate, known for both the lush, supple quality of its wine and its history as the family property of the renowned wine consultant Michel Rolland.The seven-hectare (16-acre) vineyard is located on the boundary with Saint-Émilion and has a wide range of soil types. It is planted predominantly to Merlot, with 15-20 percent Cabernet Franc – exact proportions are hard to measure as some plots are mixed. Some of the vines were planted in the 1950s.The grapes are harvested by hand, and are fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. The wines are then aged in predominantly new French oak for around 18 months and bottled without fining or filtration.World-renowned winemaking consultant Michel Rolland took over the running of Le Bon Pasteur in 1978, although the estate had been in the family since 1920.
