Chateau la Pointe Pomerol 2020 i trækasse

”93-95 points. Juicy, complex, ripe berries…” - Falstaff

"94 points. Showcases the talent and hardwork done at the estate for the past 15 years." - Decanter

I tæt samarbejde med St-Émilion-stjernen Hubert de Boüard (fra 1er Grand Cru Classé A-slottet Angelus), har Eric Monneret siden sin ansættelse i 2008 genrejst og genfødt Château de la Pointe, der i dag tilhører Pomerols absolutte elite.

Vinene har hele tiden været gode, men de 23 hektar på gamle grusaflejringer fra Isle-floden har hele tiden haft potentiale til at levere druer og vin i en endnu højere kvalitet.

Studier af jordbunden og forbedrede dræningsforhold har løftet kvaliteten af druerne, der nu høstes og vininficeres parcelvist, så vinkvaliteten nu indfrier frugtens og terroirets fulde potentiale.

Renovationer af gæringshallen og samarbejdet med Hubert De Boüard er prikken over i’et, der har gjort de la Pointe til en af tidens vigtigste Pomerol-slotte – og til prisen det måske allerbedste!

Ved køb af 6 flasker leveres vinen i original trækasse

Anmeldelser af Château la Pointe Pomerol 2020

93-95/100 Falstaff
“Deep dark ruby garnet, opaque core, violet reflections, delicate brightening of the edges. Dark berry fruit, gently underlaid with spices and precious wood, a hint of nougat, delicate of orange zest. Juicy, complex, ripe berries, delicate like fresh plums, ripe tannins, good freshness, mineral aftertaste, chocolatey touch in the finish, good length, sure development potential.”

94/100 Decanter
"Blackcurrant, milk chocolate and floral scents - lovely expression, alive and forward. Stylish and compelling, this hits the mark straight away, bold and tangy, with a sharpness to the fruit profile from high acidity. Tannins give a layered effect with detail and precision and you can feel the sculpting. Juicy and alive, there's great energy and charm, upfront and forward, shining out of the glass. Generous and almost sweet but then straightens and tightens on the finish, giving a tongue scraping clean element with salty, minerality, liquorice and oak spice. The 2019 is more cool and classic, but this will appeal to all. Showcases the talent and hardwork done at the estate for the past 15 years."

94/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
"Roses, violets, flowers and spicy kirsch notes pop in the perfume. As good as the nose is, on the palate, the wine is even better with its silky, sensuous approach. The perfectly ripe, plums and cherries offer a depth of flavor, opulent textures and a richness to the finish, along with freshness, that holds your attention making you want to take another sip. This is the best vintage of La Pointe I have ever tasted."

”Dark purple colour with violet hue and black core. Fragrant nose reminiscent of ripe plums, juicy blackberries and ripe elderberries, elegant vanilla and mild spices, hints of violets and wisteria in the background. On the palate well structured and balanced with velvety tannins, fine toasting flavour backed by fresh and succluent fruit. A very charming La Pointe with potential.”

"The 2020 La Pointe has a finely tuned and detailed bouquet of black cherries, raspberry, wild strawberry and light truffle scents, unfolding beautifully with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, fine acidity and lovely poise, leading into a mineral-driven, sophisticated finish. This is one of the best vintages of La Pointe I have encountered at this stage. Just superb."

“(74% Merlot, 26% Cabernet Franc, 14.5% alcohol) Wow, this wine literally jumps out of the glass in the nose, it is a wonderful perfume, beguiling, with many floral notes, violets, white lilies, to dip into. The palate is soft and smooth, fine tannin structure, very nice acidity, extremely crunchy fruit, delicate, perfectly ripened and in very good harmony with the structure, that has draw, juiciness and precision. Long-lasting, balanced finish. Together with the 2018, this is perhaps the best La Pointe I've tasted so far. Very nicely done!”

"(74% Merlot, 26% Cabernet Franc, 14.5% alcohol) Wow, this wine literally jumps out of the glass in the nose, it is a wonderful perfume, beguiling, with many floral notes, violets, white lilies, to immerse yourself in. The palate is soft and shows melting, fine tannin structure, very nice acidity, extremely crisp fruit, delicate, ripened to the point and in very good harmony with the structure, which has traction, juiciness and precision. Ends long lasting, balanced. Along with the 2018, this is perhaps the best La Pointe I've tasted to date. Very nicely done! 2026-2040+. (April/May 2021)"

93/100 James Suckling
"This is spiced and toasty with notes of blackcurrants, plums, roasted spices, cedar, violets and grilled herbs. Full-bodied with plush, velvety tannins and a rich and succulent dark fruit character. Firm finish with hints of chocolate and wet stones."

 91-93/100 Robert Parker
” Deep purple-black in color, the 2020 La Pointe offers up notes of baked black and red plums, cherry preserves and fresh blackberries, plus wafts of crushed rocks, underbrush and black truffles. The medium to full-bodied palate is chock-full of ripe black fruit flavors, supported by ripe, rounded tannins and a lively backbone, finishing long and earthy.”
