Reviews

James Suckling 97

Gorgeous nose with lots of dark fruit like plum and blueberries. Crushed pepper and chalk with wild strawberries and vanilla. Dense and velvety on the palate with superbly polished tannins and great depth. It's absolutely gorgeous now but needs at least five to six years of bottle age to really shows its great quality.

Wine Advocate 96+

The blend is largely dominated by 85% Merlot, with some Cabernet Sauvignon and a small amount of Cabernet Franc also included. Inky/purple-colored, the wine has an exceptionally full-bodied, layered, moderately tannic mouthfeel and impressive power. Loads of melted chocolate/fudge and black fruits galore along with some coffee bean, mocha, as well as some background oak are all present in this big, formidably endowed, masculine style of Pomerol that will take longer to shed its tannin than the 2009. I would give this wine 5-6 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 30+ years.

Wine Enthusiast 92-94

New wood mint aromas give this wine its great polished feel. The tannins offer a counterpoint of richness here, firm and dense. The fruit takes a while to show through, then brings the fine plum skin flavors suffusing through the wine.

Wine Spectator 95

This showy, packed and well-endowed Pomerol pumps out notes of warm linzer torte, plum preserves and blackberry reduction, all supported by a broad, charcoal- and ganache-coated structure and deeply embedded acidity. Very muscular on the back end, this boasts a still-chewy feel. Among the most backward of the 2010 Pomerols, this requires significant cellaring. For those who enjoy more power than subtlety. Best from 2017 through 2035.

Technical Details

Estate

is located at the highest point of the Pomerol Plateau on the famous Gunz gravel terrace, origin of the appellation's most prestigious crus.
A remarkable terroir of old gravel and deep clay over a subsoil of clinker.

Tasting notes

The wines of the 2010 vintage have a very dark garnet hue, a powerful, warm nose, and an unctuous, fruit and spicy palate, which has amazing length. The acidity, which is higher than in previous vintages, promises great ageing potential

Vineyard

Are grown with total respect for the environment, giving pride of place to tilling and grassing rather than using chemicals, placing greater confidence in the human hand than in the profitability of the machine.
The state-of-the-art installations in the cellars complement the natural assets of the appellation and the resources of the vineyard to get the very best out of the grapes and the wine.
This outstanding wine, the result of the combination of a generous terroir, a friendly climate and human foresight, is unanimously hailed as one of the most prestigious wines in the world.
