Description
Red Wine: 2016 | Chateau Pomeaux
Intense dark purple core and hue. Fine aromatic intensity on the nose with bold dark fruit, cassis, cherry, violet and sage with a hint of new oak and toast. The palate is bold and rounded, yet with a fine spine of tannin and a good level of fresh acidity, unctuous dark fruit flavours, crushed black currant, dark chocolate and fine spice flavours. Dense, long and lingering finish.

Producer Information
Bordeaux is France’s largest and most important wine region. Many of the world’s greatest connoisseurs and wine critics consider Bordeaux’s leading wines to be the finest and most prestigious wines in the world. Bordeaux’s combination of climate, soil, grape varietals, and advantageous location creates ideal conditions for producing and distributing fine wines. Abundant sunshine, adequate but moderate rainfall, and the proximity to the Atlantic Ocean provide a highly favorable Maritime climate for the Bordeaux region. On the western or left bank of the Garonne River and Gironde estuary, where the soils are predominantly calcium-rich limestone and gravel, Cabernet Sauvignon is the ascendant varietal. On the eastern or right bank, where the soils are primarily clay and gravel, Merlot Noir dominates. Bordeaux is located at the confluence of the Dordogne and Garonne Rivers and their tributaries. These waterways combine to form the Gironde estuary as it flows into the Atlantic Ocean and facilitate the transportation and distribution of Bordeaux’s wines both within France and throughout the world. Wine production in the Bordeaux region dates to the ancient Romans, who began to cultivate grapes and produce red wine in the area they called Burdigala in the 1st Century B.C. Bordeaux wine production and exports grew markedly over the next two millennia, increasing dramatically beginning in the 12th Century A.D. when Eleanor of Aquitaine (the name by which present-day Bordeaux was then known) married Henry Plantagenet, the future king of England, and wine began to be exported. Over the following centuries, Bordeaux became a large and important city and a leading exporter of fine wines.
