Château Le Bon Pasteur - Pomerol - Red - 2003 :

 

The Elegance of Pomerol: Château Le Bon Pasteur

Hailing from the esteemed Pomerol appellation on the Right Bank of Bordeaux, Château Le Bon Pasteur is a wine of profound elegance and concentration. Produced with the meticulous precision associated with consultant Michel Rolland, this estate exemplifies the rich, Merlot-driven style that has made this small region globally famous for its luxury red wines.

Tasting Notes & Vinification

The wine displays a concentrated hue and an intensely aromatic profile. Expect an opulent blend of primary fruit-blackcurrant, ripe plum, and juicy black cherry-intertwined with savoury notes of cigar box, mocha, and forest floor. The influence of the clay and gravel soils provides both the Merlot's signature lushness and the Cabernet Franc's structural backbone. It is a full-bodied wine with fine, plush tannins and a beautiful freshness that balances its power, ensuring a long, memorable finish.

Food Matching & Serving Advice

This is a wine for grand occasions and serious food. A classic pairing is essential to honour its complexity. Serve after a lengthy decant to allow its tertiary aromas to fully open up.

• Recommended Food Matches: Traditional Sunday Roast Beef with all the trimmings, rich game pie, or a mature Cheddar cheese board.
• Serving Temperature: 16-18°C.
• Drinking Window: Best enjoyed between 8 and 25 years after the vintage.
