The Signature Velvety Claret of Pomerol

It is a true expression of Right Bank luxury.

Tasting Notes & Character

• Appearance: A deep, rich garnet that transitions to a mature tawny colour after years in the cellar.
• Bouquet: A complex and sophisticated nose, offering layers of dark fruit-blackcurrant, plum, and cherry-beautifully intertwined with classic notes of truffle, cedar, and leather.
• Flavour Profile: Generous and opulent on the palate. The texture is famously silky, with perfectly integrated, fine-grained tannins. It delivers a concentrated core of fruit and spice, culminating in a long, memorable finish that echoes its earthy origins.

Food Pairing & Decanting

A superb match for the best of British and European game. Serve slightly below room temperature (16-18°C). Due to its inherent structure, decanting is highly recommended for younger bottles to ensure maximum aromatic pleasure and a smoother palate.
