17 75cl BELLEGRAVE
Pomerol
Wine Spectator -
A sleeper of the vintage, with impressive aromas of blackberry, cherry and black olive.
Full-bodied, with lots of fruit and chewy tannins. Tight but long on the finish. Clearly outstanding.
1998 £34.00 WS92
2005-17

1998 was a top Pomerol vintage!

155 75cl LA CONSEILLANTE
Pomerol
Wine Spectator -
Perfumed and subtle, with blackberry, chocolate and light vanilla. Full-bodied, yet not a blockbuster, with wonderful, caressing mouthfeel and a medium-to-long finish. Balanced and refined.
2004 £57.00 WS92
2010-26
48 75cl LA CONSEILLANTE
Pomerol
Wine Spectator -
Beautiful wine with blackberry, chocolate and floral aromas. Medium- to full-bodied, with silky tannins and a pretty finish. Refined and silky. Not a big Conseillante, but all in finesse and texture. I like it as much as the 2000
2001 £58.00

18 75cl LA CONSEILLANTE
Pomerol
RP -
A tremendous effort, and certainly the best La Conseillante since the marvellous duo of 1989 and 1990, this deep ruby/plum/purple-coloured wine offers up notes of blackberries and kirsch liqueur intermixed with liquorice, incense, spice box, and copious amounts of toasty oak. It is a relatively powerful effort for La Conseillante, with more tannin and structure than most vintages possess.
As the wine sits in the glass, black raspberries, blueberries, smoke along with floral notes emerge. There is tremendous purity, medium to full body, great precision and concentration.
2000 £155.00 RP96

5 75cl LA CONSEILLANTE
Pomerol
RP -
The dark ruby-coloured 1999 is a beautifully complex, evolved, seductive style of La Conseillante. The wine exhibits sweet black raspberry and cherry liqueur notes intermixed with cedar, toasty oak, liquorice, new saddle leather, and dried herbs. It is medium-bodied with no hard edges, extremely pure, and almost sweet (from ripe fruit, not sugar). This is a lush, delicious La Conseillante that merits its reputation as "a Burgundy from Bordeaux."
1999 £58.00 RP89
Now - 2012
36 75cl LA CONSEILLANTE
Pomerol
Wine Spectator -
Textbook Pomerol. Well-crafted, with tobacco, berry and cedar aromas. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long finish.
1998 £85.00 WS91
2007-22
36 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
59 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.
2004 £54.00 RP93
