132 75cl 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.
2009 £54.00 RP94
2012-32
35 75cl BON PASTEUR
Pomerol

RP -
A delicious, impressive, stunningly seductive offering, the 2008 Bon Pasteur exhibits spicy, mocha, coffee bean, black currant and sweet mulberry aromas and flavours. With silky tannins, a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, admirable purity and an irresistible personality, it can be enjoyed over the next 10-15 years.
2008 £52.00 RP93
2011-26
22 75cl BON PASTEUR
Pomerol

RP -
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.

174 75cl FLEUR de CLINET
Pomerol

2nd Wine of Chateau Clinet
The top wine currently sells for approx. £220 a bottle!, so this represents Excellent Value.


Wine Spectator -
A sleek, fresh style, with mouth-watering plum and blackberry fruit offset by a hint of bitter cherry.
Subtle spice and anise notes extend through the finish.

2009 £31.00 WS89
2011-24

2009 is a TOP Vintage; excellent fruit, depth and body - Wonderful Value!

6 75cl CLINET
Pomerol

RP -
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.

6 75cl 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.
2009 £136.00 RP98
2012-37
34 75cl CLOS l'EGLISE
Pomerol

RP -
A strong effort for the vintage, the 2008 Clos l’Eglise offers notes of espresso roast, Asian plum sauce, black currants and a hint of oak in a fleshy, medium to full-bodied style with outstanding purity, texture and length. It can be drunk now and over the next 10-12 years. Kudos to proprietress Helene Garcin and winemaking consultant Dr. Alain Raynaud.
2008 £46.00 RP91
2011-23
82 75cl CLOS l'EGLISE
Pomerol

ST -
Good rich red-ruby colour. Brooding aromas of black cherry, black raspberry, mocha, menthol, liquorice and smoky, nutty oak. Plush, large-scaled and sweet, with thick, mouth coating flavours of black cherry, dark berries and flowers. Full but not heavy, and impressively deep for the year. Finishes broad and pliant, with fine, chocolaty tannins and lovely persistence. A beauty!
2007 £65.00 ST92
2011-27
11 75cl LA CONSEILLANTE
Pomerol

RP -
This big, juicy, spicy Pomerol exhibits aromas and flavours of mulberries, raspberries, violets, liquorice, and a touch of herbs. Made in a medium-bodied, upfront style, this round, seductive wine should drink well for 7-10 years.

4 75cl LA CONSEILLANTE
Pomerol

Wine Spectator -
This is decadent and wild on the nose, with fresh cèpe, raw steak and wild berry. Full-bodied, with loads of velvety tannins, yet refined and caressing in every way. A beautiful, balanced red. The best young wine ever from this producer.

4 75cl LA CONSEILLANTE

1 75cl LA CONSEILLANTE
Pomerol

RP -
An evolved dark plum/garnet colour is followed by captivating, sexy, raspberry, soy, Asian spice, kirsch liqueur, and toasty vanillin aromas. While not a blockbuster, this opulently-textured, medium-bodied effort is a model of elegance, harmony, finesse, and complexity. This wine's low acidity as well as wonderfully ripe fruit invite immediate consumption.

5 75cl L'EGLISE CLINET
Pomerol

RP -
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.

142 75cl LES CRUZELLES
Lalande a Pomerol

RP -
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.
2009 £27.00 RP89
2012-27
78 75cl LES CRUZELLES
Lalande a Pomerol

RP -
Also a sleeper of the vintage, the 2008 over-delivers for its modest pedigree. Loads of black currant fruit, liquorice, vanillin, caramel and mocha are found in this full-bodied, surprisingly concentrated, textured, hedonistic Lalande de Pomerol. It should drink well for 10 years or more.
2008 £21.00 RP91
2011-21
81 75cl LES CRUZELLES
Lalande a Pomerol

RP -
This lower pedigree wine represents undeniable quality/value rapport in 2005. This vintage is so deep in quality among the better run, less heralded estates, that these wines should appeal to readers looking for terrific values from Bordeaux.
2005 £27.00 RP91
2009-22

This Château was purchased in 2000 by Denis Durantou of Eglise Clinet, who ages the crop in 50% new oak.
Often better than many Pomerol's and
Saint Emilion's that we have tasted, yet moderately priced thanks to the appellation.
72 75cl FEYTIT CLINET
Pomerol

RP -
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.
2009 £62.00 RP94
2017-47

 

20 75cl 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.
2005 £78.00 RP96
2012-32
12 75cl 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.
2008 £97.00 RP94+
2016-46
20 75cl LE GAY
Pomerol

RP -
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.

24 75cl PROVIDENCE

RP
- This masculine-styled Pomerol exhibits notes of iron, earth, vitamins, black cherries, and blackberries. It is reminiscent of a Trotanoy in terms of personality and appellation character. Full-bodied and super-dense with a boatload of tannin as well as unbridled power, richness, and depth.

59 75cl ROUGET
Pomerol

RP
- Similar in style to the 2008 Bon Pasteur, the dark ruby/plum-coloured 2008 Rouget is unquestionably a sleeper of the vintage. Notes of mulberries, black currants and sandy, loamy soil as well as a lush, seductive, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel and good purity as well as depth suggest it can be drunk now and over the next decade or more.
