Chateau L'Ancien Lalande-de-Pomerol

Chateau L'Ancien Lalande-de-Pomerol from France, Bordeaux, Lalande-de-Pomerol by Chateau L'Ancien Lalande de Pomerol (12 x 75 cl)

Made from Merlot using the traditional cultural methods, the yield has been limited to produce grapes of the most consistent quality. Vines are pruned using the Double Guyot system with bud removal, and the crop is thinned when necessary. After a long maceration, Château l'Ancien is matured in new oak barrels for more than 18 months in an underground, air-conditioned cellar. A severe selection is made during each phase of the wine making, from the culture of the vine to the vinification and maturing with only the best kept. Château l'Ancien is distinguished by a great structure and intense, deep red color. Fine, oaky nose, which is elegant, smooth and harmonious. The firm palate is full with a superb long finish. The wine is bottled at the Château and can be enjoyed for many years and is packaged in a wooden case.

One of the most dependable buys from this region, with substantial tannin, meaty body, balanced fruit and oak. (6 x 75 cl)

The yields are limited by Double Guyot pruning with bud removal, manual leaf removal and crop thinning when necessary. The grapes, 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, are harvested by hand at full maturity and gone over by hand on a vibrating sorting table.

The maturing is conducted in the traditional manner for about 18 months, 80% in oak barrels, a third of which is renewed every year, and 20% in vats. Château Garraud possesses great elegance and a red color that evolve into a deep orange-red. It releases a bouquet of varied aromas, especially red fruits. The soft, lush palate is fleshy with plenty of body, tight tannins and a long finish. It can be aged for more than 10 years. (12 x 75 cl)

This deep red coloured wine has a nose oozing with chocolate, prunes and spicy notes. The palate is complex with bitter chocolate, black cherries and cinnamon characters leading to a very long, soft but powerful finish. 100% Merlot from a small 2 hectare vineyard located near Barbanne on the border of Pomerol, the character of this wine is developed through 18 months oak ageing to deliver a concentrated intense style. (12 x 75 cl)

This is a small family property to the north of Libourne producing benchmark Merlot based wines. Grapes are hand picked and manually sorted as the winery strives to improve grape quality with each new vintage. Concentrated bramble fruit flavours are enhanced by some elegant oak and well-balanced tannins. Allow to breath before drinking to let the delicious flavours develop. (12 x 75 cl)
