Introduction:
The 2018 Château du Castel Pomerol is a luxurious red wine from Bordeaux’s Right Bank, embodying the finesse and depth that define the Pomerol appellation. With a merlot-dominant blend, this vintage offers richness, structure, and age-worthy complexity.

Grown in the clay and gravel soils typical of Pomerol, the vines benefit from excellent drainage and a maritime climate. These conditions favor Merlot’s soft texture and aromatic expression, while allowing for slow, even ripening.

Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a layered, polished mouthfeel. The palate reveals dark berry fruit, mocha, and savory tobacco, framed by subtle oak and minerality.
Finish:
Long and refined, with persistent notes of dark fruit, spice, and earthy elegance.
Overall Impression:
The 2018 Château du Castel Pomerol is a balanced and beautifully structured wine with both power and poise. Ideal for special occasions or cellaring, it pairs wonderfully with roast meats, duck, or aged cheeses.
