CHATEAU GOMBAUDE-GUILLOT - Pomerol 2016 Bottle ORG/BIO

Description

(80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc)

In the heart of the Pomerol plateau, on the Right Bank of Bordeaux, the vineyards of Château Gombaude-Guillot comprices of 7ha and have been a family property for so long that the current generation doesn’t even know when they were first acquired. The “château” itself, which was originally a café where the locals would gather for a drink after church services, was added to the property in 1922. Today, Claire Laval, Marie’s great-granddaughter, runs the estate. Claire started her career as an agronomist, specializing in soils.

The wines of Gombaude-Guillot are classic reflections of Pomerol: rich and supple, with a deep gravel mineral structure. This vin de garde has all of the grace and finesse for which the appellation is known, without any of the highbrow pretention or price.
