Château La Pointe – Pomerol – Red – 2016 – 3000 ml:

 

The Definitive Claret: Château La Pointe, Pomerol

Hailing from the legendary Right Bank, Château La Pointe is one of Pomerol’s most respected estates. The château, whose name derives from the unique triangular ‘point’ shape of its vineyard, crafts a refined Claret that perfectly marries the Merlot grape’s plushness with the appellation’s characteristic truffle and earthy complexity. This is a wine built for the cellar, reflecting the meticulous work in its clay and gravel-rich terroir.

Tasting Notes (Typical Vintage)

• Colour: A deep, concentrated garnet.
• Bouquet: An expressive nose featuring layers of ripe dark berries (mulberry, plum), sweet tobacco, crushed rocks, and the signature hint of black truffles and game.
• Mouthfeel: Elegant and medium to full-bodied, with wonderfully supple, well-integrated tannins. The palate delivers a concentrated core of fruit that maintains freshness and precision, culminating in a persistent and savoury finish.

Food Match & Service

Decant this magnificent wine for an hour before serving at a cool cellar temperature (approx. 17°C). It is the ideal partner for a traditional Sunday roast or a decadent game dish, showcasing its structure and depth.
