Note di degustazione
Ripe blackberries, toasted spices, saddle leather, and dried herb like nuances all emerge from the 2005 Château Le Bon Pasteur, a medium to full-bodied, beautifully layered, seamless Pomerol. Based on 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, drink this balanced, pleasure bent yet elegant 2005 any time over the coming decade or more.

Tasted blind. Blackish ruby. Zippy freshness on the nose. Really complete and fresh. A lovely wine whose fruit hides the tannins successfully. Hint of saltiness. (JR)
A beautiful wine from Dany and Michel Rolland, this 2005 is surprisingly concentrated and powerful – more so than usual. Deep ruby/purple, with plenty of black cherry and cassis fruit, licorice and a touch of caramel, this wine is still full, youthful, and set for another 15-20 years of longevity. This is a beauty and one of their strongest efforts in the first decade of the 21st century. For a terroir considered well below Pomerol’s superstars, this wine is a major overachiever.
Informazioni sul produttore
Famed winemaking consultant Michel Rolland is synonymous with this estate. The vines here were purchased by his grandparents and he ran the property from 1979. Although Rolland still makes the wine today, he sold the estate in 2013.
