Lalande-de-Pomerol

Château Pierrefitte - Lalande-de-Pomerol Cuvée de Malte 2021

3.7/5 (3 reviews)

"An unbeatable exclusivity in its category!

This 5-hectare estate in the Lalande-de-Pomerol AOC is run by the 3rd generation of the Massonie family. Their Cuvée de Malte fulfills all the promises of a typical Bordeaux wine, adding a touch of roundness typical of its terroir, as well as fruit, power and vivacity. A Gem of the Right Bank!

Château Les Cruzelles Lalande-de-Pomerol 2018

4/5 (2 reviews)

"The 2018 Les Cruzelles is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, with 40% new oak and 14.5% alcohol. Deep garnet-purple in color, it bursts from the glass with dynamic scents of crushed blackberries, juicy black cherries and ripe plums, as well as hints of menthol, dark chocolate and star anise. The medium- to full-bodied palate offers black fruits on the palate, soft texture and great freshness, finishing long and lively." (Wine Advocate 2021). A real pleasure!

Plaisir de Siaurac - Second Vin du Château Siaurac 2015

3.6/5 (9 reviews)

"Heady, fragrant nose, notes of tar, blackberry and violet. Concentrated rich, sweet fruit, well-integrated oak, opulent spicy finish." (Decanter World Wine Awards 2017)

Château Siaurac 2015

3.6/5 (5 reviews)

"Siaurac has long made "nifty" Lalande-de-Pomerol and the 2015 is well worth exploring. It has a sensual, fruity bouquet with plenty of black cherry and cassis that don't take over, however. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine grain of tannin. There are a few layers of new wood that still need to be absorbed, but there's enough fruit to get there. The finish shows seductive notes of truffle and white pepper that bring a nice salinity." (Wine Advocate 2016 - Robert Parker) Delivered in wooden cases for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding Point Relais delivery method).

Domaine Pont de Guestres 2012

2.8/5 (5 reviews)

"Born of pure Merlot, aged for eight months in vats and twelve in barrels, the estate's 2012 is a winner: its deep color with youthful violet highlights is a good omen, as is its bouquet combining flowers and very ripe black berries. Its warm character is tempered by good acidity and silky tannins. A complete wine, already elegant and suitable for laying down". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2016)

Château Bois de Laborde 2011

3.5/5 (19 reviews)

For 2 generations, the Vedelago family has been committed to the development of Château Bois de Laborde. Very elegant on the nose, this Lalande de Pomerol will need a little patience to air out before you can savor its lovely red fruit notes and appreciate all its roundness.

Château La Fleur de Boüard 2011

4.3/5 (3 reviews)

"The 2011 La Fleur de Boüard is rich, full-bodied, ripe and assertive. Big, mellow and delicious, it features extra-ripe Merlot harvested late and with low yields. In a relatively short space of time, Hubert de Bouard (owner of Château Angelus) has created a benchmark for the greatness of Lalande de Pomerol. When tasted after 10 to 15 years, the Bouard wines consistently prove their conviction that they sit on a great terroir, even if this appellation is humble compared to its close neighbors, Pomerol and Saint -Emilion." (Wine Advocate 2014 - Robert Parker)

Château La Croix de Bourseau 2011 - Vieilles vignes

"A wine of good concentration inherited from old vines, which immediately reveals a deep bouquet of ripe grapes underlined by melted oak. The palate, in unison, is fleshy, suave and powerful. Still harsh on the finish, it will benefit from ageing". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2015)

Château de Musset - Cuvée Compostelle 2011

3.5/5 (4 reviews)

This estate's Cuvée Compostelle is an approachable red, with notes of cinnamon, spices and morello cherry, with a pleasant toasty touch. Like a delicate, airy lace, this cuvée offers plenty of gourmandise on the finish, in a very elegant profile... A well-made Lalande!

Château La Gravière 2008

Notes : Robert Parker 87/100, Guide Hachette citation
"A wine of pure Merlot with a very dark color, an open bouquet and great finesse, revealing a good grape well aged in barrel (twenty months). The palate reveals very ripe fruit. Very supple, it is underpinned by tannins that have already melted, without any aggressiveness. Serve this 2008 soon with red meats and hard cheeses, or wait two or three years. (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2012)

Château des Arnauds - Cuvée des Capucins 2010

3.4/5 (5 reviews)

This is a fine representative of the Lalande-de-Pomerol appellation, fruity and slightly woody, with a pleasant toasty nuance. The attack on the palate is silky and delicate, well-balanced with a pretty note of red fruit and an elegant finish with a fruity character. Ideal with ceps à la bordelaise, but also a fine piece of red meat...

Château Moulin la Gravière - Lalande-de-Pomerol 2000

Catherine Péré-Vergé's expertise and passion are also being emulated in Pomerol's neighboring appellation, Lalande-de-Pomerol. Lalande-de-Pomerol benefits from an extremely high-quality terroir. Château Moulin la Gravière is run with the same high standards of quality and attention to detail as in Pomerol, where Michel Rolland works wonders!
