Red Wine from Pomerol

Neal Martin's Wine Journal, 96 points: (NM94-96 points) Tasted at the property, Denis Durantou cannot really do wrong these days. The l’Eglise-Clinet 2011 was cropped between 12th and 15th September and the Cabernet Franc on 24th September, a blend of 90%...

View From The Cellar, 96 points: The 2011 Trotanoy is one of the wines of the vintage and an absolute classic in the making. The deep, pure and utterly brilliant nose soars from the glass in a blaze of red and black plums, black cherries, woodsmoke...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: As I have written in previous Bordeaux reports, proprietor Chasseuil is on the move qualitatively, taking Feytit-Clinet to the summit of Pomerol. Readers should latch on to a few bottles as it is just a matter of time...

Neal Martin's Wine Journal, 92 points: (NM90-92 points) Tasted at JP Moueix. The Latour-a-Pomerol has a more backward nose compared to its peers. Natural blackberry and raspberry fruit, wild hedgerow with subtle dried herb notes emerging with time in the...

Wine Spectator, 95 points: This is tightening up a little now, with a graphite edge holding sway over lightly mulled plum and boysenberry fruit, revealing a lovely tug of earth at the end. This has lost the caressing feel of its youth and picked up...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: A powerful, virile 2011, Gazin reveals a dense ruby/purple color, a big, meaty, earthy richness, lots of coffee, black cherry liqueur and spice notes, and a full-bodied mouthfeel. It will benefit from another 3-4 years of...

Wine Spectator, 94 points: Offers a very solid plump core of blackberry and crushed cherry notes with sweet spice filling in on the finish where a lightly singed wood edge shows through and should integrate with further élevage. Still rather...

Wine Enthusiast, 93 points: (WE91-93 points) A smooth, rounded wine, this shows opulence with its rich blackberry fruit.

Wine Enthusiast, 97 points: This extravagantly perfumed wine has great juicy, ripe fruits. The tannic structure is almost secondary in the welter of ripe fruits, but it is enough to promise aging. Acidity and rich fruitiness partner each other to...

Wine Spectator, 90 points: (87-90) Rather graceful, with bing cherry and sandalwood notes and a lightly firm dash of toasted vanilla on the finish. This opens steadily with air, showing more toasted spice and black tea. Not big, but has a suave...

Wine Enthusiast, 91 points: This is a blend of grapes from different growers in Pomerol rather than a second wine of Château Clinet. It is made to be drunk young with its smooth tannins, generous texture and ripe Merlot fruits. It feels rich and...

Neal Martin's Wine Journal, 98 points: The Vieux Chateau Certan was cropped between 6th and 7th of September and from 14th until 20th September. That's what you'll read everywhere although I was filming Alexandre when he was picking the final Cabernet around...
