Terrior
Situated adjacent to the renowned Pomerol region, Lalande-de-Pomerol features gravel and clay soils that contribute to the depth and complexity of its Merlot-based wines. The 2022 vintage experienced a mild winter, an unstable spring, and a very hot summer, leading to an early harvest with exceptional Merlot quality.
Tasting notes:
The 2022 Château de Roquebrune Lalande-de-Pomerol is full-bodied and smooth as silk, with aromas of espresso beans, chocolate, plums, and black cherries.
