2009 | Château La Providence | Pomerol

A wine with a deep nose of blueberries, blackberries, dark chocolate, nutmeg and vanilla bean. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a beautiful depth of fruit. Very attractive texture to this wine.

Reviews:

• Wine Spectator: Captivating, with Lapsang souchong tea and incense flavors up front, followed by creamy-textured plum and fig sauce, blackberry preserve and ganache notes, which sail through the long, smoky and creamy finish.

• Vinous: The 2009 Providence has a complex and refined bouquet with brambly red fruit, mulberry, black truffle and light tobacco scents. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, well judged acidity, very harmonious and poised with an elegant, tobacco and white pepper tinged finish that becomes ferrous with aeration. This feels full mature but it should continue to drink well for a number of years. What a great showing from the Pomerol cru that is now part of La Fleur-Pétrus. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting.

Producer Information

Château La Providence (sometimes labeled as "Providence") is a former Pomerol wine estate, located in the heart of the Pomerol commune (and winegrowing region). A part of the wider Établissements Jean-Pierre Moueix portfolio of properties its production, since 2015, has been absorbed into that of Moueix stablemate, La Fleur Pétrus. The estate covered four hectares (10 acres) and its vineyards sit next to the Église Saint-Jean church in Pomerol (a local landmark). The vines were predominantly Merlot (90 percent) with 10 percent Cabernet Franc – a relatively typical makeup for the area. The estate was originally dubbed Château Tropchaud (French for "too-hot") but had been renamed by former owners to La Providence in 1928. It was acquired by local heavyweight Établissements Jean-Pierre Moueix (which owns and operates numerous properties in the region, including the stellar Pétrus and Providence neighbor, Trotanoy) in 2005. The wines were produced as Providence for a decade, although in tougher vintages no wines were released under the label. Since 2015, the estate production has been subsumed by that of Château La Fleur Pétrus.
