2018 | Chateau Pomeaux

dark purple core and hue. Intense, pure and elegant nose with floral violet notes, wild berries, cassis, sweet tobacco, fine oak and mild spices. The palate is dense and seamless, ripe tannin, layers of opulent fruit, yet baked up by a vibrant freshness, layered and digest with a very long and elegant finish.

Producer Information

Bordeaux is France’s largest and most important wine region. Many of the world’s greatest connoisseurs and wine critics consider Bordeaux’s leading wines to be the finest and most prestigious wines in the world. Bordeaux’s combination of climate, soil, grape varietals, and advantageous location creates ideal conditions for producing and distributing fine wines. Abundant sunshine, adequate but moderate rainfall, and the proximity to the Atlantic Ocean provide a highly favorable Maritime climate for the Bordeaux region. On the western or left bank of the Garonne River and Gironde estuary, where the soils are predominantly calcium-rich limestone and gravel, Cabernet Sauvignon is the ascendant varietal. On the eastern or right bank, where the soils are primarily clay and gravel, Merlot Noir dominates. Bordeaux is located at the confluence of the Dordogne and Garonne Rivers and their tributaries. These waterways combine to form the Gironde estuary as it flows into the Atlantic Ocean and facilitate the transportation and distribution of Bordeaux’s wines both within France and throughout the world. Wine production in the Bordeaux region dates to the ancient Romans, who began to cultivate grapes and produce red wine in the area they called Burdigala in the 1st Century B.C. Bordeaux wine production and exports grew markedly over the next two millennia, increasing dramatically beginning in the 12th Century A.D. when Eleanor of Aquitaine (the name by which present-day Bordeaux was then known) married Henry Plantagenet, the future king of England, and wine began to be exported. Over the following centuries, Bordeaux became a large and important city and a leading exporter of fine wines.
