BON PASTEUR
Pomerol
RP -
A brilliant
effort from well-known oenologists Dany and Michel Rolland, the 2009
Bon Pasteur is dominated by Merlot, with a touch of Cabernet Franc
included in the blend. It reveals textbook notes of mocha, tobacco leaf,
blackberries, black cherries, roasted coffee and wood smoke.
Full-bodied and luscious with a succulent, beautifully textured,
multidimensional mouthfeel, low acidity and sweet but noticeable tannin,
it is reminiscent of the 1982 Bon Pasteur, which continued to put on
weight for a decade or more. If the 2009 does the same, it will come
close to equaling that legendary vintage. |

A superb effort
from proprietors Dany and Michel Rolland. His 2005 Bon Pasteur is
an elegant, subtle, deep ruby/purple-coloured wine offering hints of
graphite, sweet mocha, black cherries, and berries that build
incrementally in the mouth, ending in a cascade of full-bodied,
concentrated fruit with good acidity, beautiful tannin, and stunning
precision as well as length. |

Another
resounding success for the vintage, the opaque purple-coloured 2008
Clinet (14.4% alcohol) is composed of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and
5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Yields of 38 hectoliters per hectare, while higher
than in 2010, were still modest. Another powerful, big, large-scaled
effort, the 2008 exhibits an inky/purple color as well as sweet crème de
cassis, blackberry, plum, Asian spice, licorice and incense notes.
Layered and full-bodied with stunning purity and a 40+ second finish. |

CLOS l'EGLISE
Pomerol
RP -
The 2009 is one
of the sexiest wines in Pomerol in this vintage, offering up notes of
melted caramel, sweet mocha, blackberry and black cherry fruit, with hints
of loamy soil and unsmoked cigar tobacco as well as a touch of white
chocolate and some subtle toasty oak. Round, opulent and unctuously
textured, with a full-bodied mouthfeel, fabulous purity, and no hard
edges, this sumptuous, fleshy, lavishly rich Pomerol can be drunk now
and over the next 25 years. |

Finishes broad and pliant, with fine, chocolaty tannins and lovely

Unquestionably
the Pomerol of the vintage, the dense purple-coloured 2007
l’Eglise-Clinet offers an astonishing display of rich, liquorice and
caramel-infused kirsch, black raspberry, and cassis fruit. Rich,
full-bodied, and pure, with low acidity and ripe tannin, it is already
offering delicious drinking, and should continue to do so for 15-20
years. Kudos to proprietor Denis Durantou. |

This estate, owned
by L’Eglise Clinet’s Denis Durantou, has produced a dense purple-coloured,
relatively backward wine with a nose of crème caramel, white chocolate,
black cherry and black currant. The wine is medium to full-bodied, very
pure, elegant and in need of several years of cellaring. |

This Château was
purchased in 2000 by Denis Durantou of Eglise Clinet, who ages

Often better than many Pomerol's and
Saint Emilion's that we have tasted,
yet moderately priced thanks to the appellation. |

Dominated by Merlot (95%)
blended with a small amount of Cabernet Franc (5%), with 14.5% natural
alcohol, it exhibits an opaque blue/purple color as well as a bouquet
reminiscent of blueberry pie intermixed with espresso beans, black
raspberries, charcoal and graphite.
Full-bodied, thick and juicy with undeniable purity, a layered mouthfeel
and abundant but sweet tannins, this exceptional Pomerol should be
ready for prime time drinking in 5-8 years and last for at least three
decades. Unfortunately, there are just over 1,300 cases produced. |

LA FLEUR DE GAY
Pomerol
RP -
As I wrote last
year, this is unquestionably the finest La Fleur de Gay produced since
the back-to-back vintages of 1989 and 1990. A 100% Merlot cuvee cropped
at a low 28 hectoliters per hectare, it has put on even more weight and
richness since 2006.
There are approximately 1,000 cases of this brilliant Pomerol that
exhibits a dense ruby/purple colour as well as a sweet nose of black
raspberries, blueberries, charcoal, truffles, and subtle espresso and
toasty oak notes. Full-bodied, beautifully textured, opulent, and fleshy
with exceptional precision as well as clarity, this fabulous effort will
need 5-7 years of bottle age, and should drink well for 25 or more
years. |

LE GAY
Pomerol
RP -
One of the top
successes of the vintage, the 2008 Le Gay, a blend of 90% Merlot and
10% Cabernet Franc (13.5% alcohol) was produced from tiny yields of 25
hectoliters per hectare. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, it exhibits a
dense purple color as well as a sweet nose of spring flowers intermixed
with blueberries, blackberries, dark raspberries, crushed rocks and white
chocolate. Full-bodied, super intense and extremely promising
(although it is unusually backward for a 2008), it will benefit from 5-7
years of cellaring and may merit an even higher score in a decade or
so. |

One of the
vintage’s most astonishing wines, this superb effort boasts a dense
plum/blue/purple colour, aromas of camphor, graphite, roasted meats, and
black as well as blue fruits, a full-bodied, powerful style, low
acidity, ripe tannin, and excellent concentration. Give this beauty 3-4
years of bottle age, and enjoy it over the following two decades. It has
the potential to be one of the vintage’s longest lived wines. Kudos to
the proprietor, Catherine Pere-Verge, and her winemaker, Michel Rolland,
for exploiting this property to its fullest potential. |
