Chateau L'Eveche 2018, Pomerol

This is the kind of Bordeaux that unfolds slowly. Red fruit and spice first, then layers of tobacco and soft leather with age. Open it now for red meats and hard cheeses or cellar it for a future dinner worth remembering.

Tasting Notes: This wine shows lovely fruit and subtle complexity on the palate, with a soft, balanced structure. Youthful and approachable now, it will develop greater finesse and elegance with a few years of aging. Flavors of ripe fruit give way to hints of tobacco and spice, while the texture is round and generous, with a long, persistent finish. A natural match for red meats and strong cheeses.

Varietals: 90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc

About the Estate: Steeped in history, the Château l'Évêché - Pomerol vineyard is located on the road to Saint Jacques de Compostelle, in the heart of the Pomerol vineyards, just south of the town of Pomerol. It occupies sandy-gravelly slopes created by the erosion of the Isle tributary of the Dordogne. The exposure is ideal: orientation full South. The average age of the vines is around 50 years.
