Review of Château Bechereau Lalande de Pomerol 2019, Bordeaux
A family business since the 18th Century, Château Béchereau has vineyards on three appellations of the "Right Bank" in the area of the Libourne vineyards. Over the generations, they have endeavored to create high quality wines which are reflective of their terroirs.
This is a classic, full-bodied Lalande de Pomerol made from a blend of Merlot (90%) and Cabernet Franc (10%).
Half of this French red wine is fermented in stainless steel before ageing in oak barrels for 12 months, the other half is fermented in oak.
This combination creates a classic, full-bodied claret with a good balance of black fruits, toasty notes and some sweet spice.
Bordeaux is a famous wine region in southwestern France which produces some of the world's finest wines. The region is home to over 10,000 wine estates and more than 60 appellations, each with its own unique terroir and wine styles.
Bordeaux wines are typically known for their complexity, depth, and ability to age.
"If anyone orders merlot, I’m leaving. I am not drinking any f*&!ing merlot".
Miles view (from the film Sideways) is not shared by everyone, Merlot is loved by many for it's boisterous black cherry flavours, supple tannins, and chocolatey finish. It is a component of some of the worlds finest wines.
