Sometimes maligned, but a success on the right bank, a very good vintage for Merlot. Supple, round and complex wines, drinking perfectly now and over the coming few years prove that you don’t need soaring temperatures to make good wine. Easy drinking but thought provoking. Thierry Garnaud’s 18th vintage as winemaker at Canon Chaigneau, his 31st at Cheval Blanc.

    • The nose immediately puts one in the vicinity of Pomerol... restrained and elegant than the more recent vintages... a cooler, darker fruit profile. Plush, full, rich but the product of a very gentle extraction to producegloriously soft and enveloping tannins. Great intensity but with no harshness at all.This is starting to drink very well indeed.’

    Colin Hay, The Drinks Business

    • ‘... black Dorset plums mixed with melted dark chocolate and iodine…  peaking after 90 minutes in the glass… balanced with vivid dark plum and blackberry fruit…  still perfectly fresh and drinkable the following day,  2020-2026.’

    Neal Martin, 88

    "A hidden gem in our lineup and in Lalande-de-Pomerol. Always an insider secret, it’s now evolved into a soft, enveloping wine with lacy tannins and fine, lingering fragrance."

    A Unique Terroir

    The Néac plateau. One of the finest wines of the appellation, and one of the best value wines in France - medium bodied, not over extracted, complex, suave & extremely drinkable, typically with notes of truffle, black fruits, spice and cacao.
