Ballade de La Pointe AOC Pomerol, 2016

A deliciously enjoyable wine now, it has a brick colour with a bouquet of spicy vanilla, ginger and earthy fruits. It has a soft rich palate with succulent plump fruit with the 91% Merlot blend. Sweet red fruit flavours lead to bitter almonds and cherries on the finish. Located in the southwest of the Pomerol Appellation, Château La Pointe has 23 hectares planted on a range of soils with small gravel and pebble soils from the Isle River terrace, clayey-gravel and sandy soils over clay or gravel sub-soils. Ballade de la Pointe is the second wine produced for earlier drinking and is showing really nice development.
