The Champseix Family have tended the vines of Chateaux Vieux Chevrol for three generations. Their vines are an average of 30-years-old. Like the great wines of the neighbouring Pomorol, the wines of Lalande de Pomerol are Merlot based. They can present tremendous value, and the best of them can offer tantalizing hints at the concentration and refinement found in Pomerol. You can expect this one, from the superb 2010 vintage, to offer suggestions of tobacco, leather, and cocoa alongside the maturing red fruit. Enjoy this tonight with lamb stew or drink by 2020+.2 |
