Description
Exclusive fine wine bargain from 'Monsieur Merlot' Christian Moueix: the man who makes Château Pétrus, "the undisputed king of Pomerol and probably the most famous red wine in the world" (Robert Parker). What's more, this seductively smooth, opulent claret was crafted in the majestic 2005 vintage, "the best in 10, 50 … even 100 years" (Wine Spectator).
Christian's father Jean-Pierre "single-handedly established the reputation for Pomerol" (Parker), now the world's most expensive appellation. Neighbouring Lalande de Pomerol was once an insider's tip for those seeking Pomerols chocolaty opulence and berry charm … at a fraction of the price. However, "today's Lalandes are of an equal quality to Pomerol, with the same opulent richness" (Decanter) and prices now reflect that, unless you're an old friend of Christian!
Deep, dark ruby colour, with seductive, smoky, red-berry aromas. Layers of ripe, velvety fruit fill the mouth - they call Christian 'Monsieur Merlot', and this is a beautifully smooth and rounded expression of the grape with classic Pomerol opulence. Partners roasts, and game dishes perfectly.
