Chateau Le Bon Pasteur Pomerol 1998Type:Red Country:France Region:Bordeaux Appellation:Pomerol  Style Full Bodied RedsVintage 1998Grape Merlot blendAlcohol 13%Size 75clDrink Drink NowOak Style OakedGrower Chateau Le Bon PasteurClassification AOC Chateau Le Bon Pasteur is uniquely located on the border of the famous St. Emilion & Pomerol Bordeaux appellations, as a result of its position the Chateau benefits from diverse soils which perhaps account for the unique nature of this wine; the soft characteristics of Pomerol combined with the full body of St. Emilion. The colour is crimson with violet flecks, on the nose the aromas are of forward black cherry and blackberry fruit with hints of mocha and eucalyptus. The high Merlot content produces a generous fleshy palate with deep plum, mulberry and cassis while the Cabernet Sauvignon adds structure and fine tannins. The finish is long with elements of black cherry, cocoa and cedar. 80-85% Merlot 15-20% Cabernet Sauvignon Pomerol makes a wonderful partner to red meat dishes such as Beef Wellington, roast beef, rack of lamb, wild boar, pheasant and ripe cheeses such as Camembert. |
