Robert Parker
Composed of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, the 2018 Bourgneuf has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and fragrant notes of lavender, kirsch, black truffles and cinnamon toast over a core of blackberry pie and Black Forest cake with a waft of woodsmoke. The intense, medium to full-bodied palate packs in the black fruit layers, supported by ripe, rounded tannins and bold freshness, finishing long and savory.

This is a lovely wine, packed full of Pomerol typicity - it's inky with dark chocolate, black cherry coulis and touches of smoke that spread trough the palate. The tannins are chewy but full of life, they grab on and massage the dark, cassis, knitted-down fruits along the way.
