Château La Pointe

Initially subdued on the nose, this wine opens up with a bit of air to express a complex bouquet with mineral graphite notes, game, ground almonds and a touch of redcurrant. It is medium-bodied and supple, with a tart acidity complementing redcurrant, balsamic, ginger and cedar flavours. It is ethereal and elegant with some grippy tannins and lingering oaky spices. Château La Pointe has 23 hectares of vines in the southwest of the Pomerol Appellation, predominantly planted to Merlot with 15% Cabernet Franc. This is a historic estate and has been revitalized in recent years with greater attention to detail and focus on the vineyard.
