Château Taillefer – Pomerol – Red – 2011 – 3000 ml:

 

The Right Bank Masterpiece: Château Taillefer, Pomerol

A true gem of the Right Bank, Château Taillefer is one of Pomerol’s oldest properties, with a name directly linked to its iron-rich subsoil, the ‘crasse de fer’. This unique geological feature is the secret behind the wine’s signature earthy complexity and truffle notes, setting it apart as an elite expression of the appellation. Now under the stewardship of Claire Moueix and Cyril Basteau, the estate continues its tradition of crafting Merlot-focused wines with remarkable finesse and aging potential.

Sommelier’s Tasting Profile

• Colour: A profound, dark garnet-purple hue.
• Nose: Rich and complex, offering concentrated aromas of black cherry, damson plum, and dark chocolate, beautifully interwoven with subtle notes of cedar, sweet spice, and the classic hint of truffle-infused earth.
• Palate: Full, generous, and impeccably balanced. The structure is supported by rich, smooth tannins that melt on the tongue, leading to a long, savoury, and fresh finish. This wine is both powerful and supremely elegant.

Food Pairing & Decanting

Decant this magnificent Pomerol for at least an hour before serving at a cool cellar temperature (16-18°C / 60-64°F) to ensure maximum enjoyment. It is a superb partner to rich, slow-cooked meats and game.
