Note di degustazione
The 2022 La Pointe, matured in 50% new oak, has a tightly wound blackberry- and bilberry-scented bouquet that is very well defined with nicely integrated wood. It offers a lovely crushed violet aroma that gains intensity in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with pleasing sapidity, hints of black olive and touches of orange rind. It's structured and quite classic but with sufficient flesh on the finish. This is a very fine, sophisticated Pomerol that will age well in bottle. Don't overlook this.

A fine, creamy nose with vanilla, berries, plums, milk chocolate and sweet spices. Sleek, juicy and fresh on the palate, this has medium body and an expressive and persistent finish. The tannins are fully melted. Tempting now, but the flattering wood spices should better integrate in two to three years. Try after 2026.
Rich plum in colour, touches of smoked caramel, espresso, liquorice and sweet oak on the opening, this is luscious, with plenty of Pomerol character, easy to love, a crowd pleaser with grilled spices and damson fruit, fully ripe with ability to age. Eric Monneret director, Pierre Candelier winemaker.
84% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc. Deep crimson. Lovely perfume of non-sweet black fruit and a stony freshness, with the Cab Franc adding an attractive, lightly leafy red-fruited lift. Not as powerful as some but it is harmonious in a more gentle style. (JH)
