Description
In a nutshell:
A very appealing and even sensuous take on Pomerol's excellent Merlot led wines.
The lowdown:
Rich cassis and soft woody spices lead the aromas here which is followed up by lush brambly fruit on the palate alongside a touch of warm, toasty oak. It's got great structure and really feels the part on the tongue. It's 80% Merlot which is typical of these parts of Bordeaux's right bank.
The Producer:
Clos de L'Hermitage covers just over 3 hectares of mainly Merlot vines, with one fifth planted to Cabernet Franc near the up and coming village of Néac in Lalande de Pomerol. It's owned by the Bertin family have produced wine in Bordeaux since 1742. Under Yvette Bertin, who works with her grand-daughter Sarah Boireau, the aim is to produce full bodied, mellow and balanced wines by bringing modern expertise to ancient traditions, which they seem to be doing pretty well.
When to drink:
Just the type of thing that'll suit braised beef or, even better, a meltingly tender ox cheek.
Suitable for Vegans
