The wine region of Lalande-de-Pomerol
Northern neighbour of Pomerol (Bordeaux right bank) on the communes of Lalande and Neac: signature Merlot as king red (~75%) — fleshy and velvety with notes of black cherry, ripe plum, blackberry, red fruits, truffle, undergrowth and a hint of spice, round tannins and a generous finish in the Pomerol style at an accessible price. Fragrant Cabernet Franc (15-20%) and Cabernet Sauvignon as complements. AOC (1936), ~1,200 ha, clay-gravel and sandy-gravel soils, oceanic climate, ages 5-15 years.
The wine region of Bordeaux
World-renowned age-worthy reds, led by round Merlot (plum, black fruit) or firm Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, cedar, graphite), blended with Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot for tannic structure. Structured Médoc and Graves, velvety Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Also crisp dry whites (Sauvignon/Sémillon) and opulent sweet Sauternes with honey and candied fruit. A 110,000 ha Gironde vineyard, 65 appellations, cradle of the 1855 classified growths.
The word of the wine: Wooded
A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
