  The Wine Cellar Insider
  Lush, silky, fresh, and elegant, the beautiful floral character in the nose, with its cherry blossoms, truffle, chocolate, and plums leads the way to its refined, silky, mid-palate, and finish that is packed with sweet, ripe, refined, black cherries dipped in chocolate, with just a hint of licorice, and espresso for a long, plush, polished finish. The wine blends 80% Merlot, with 20% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2026-2050."

  The 2022 Château Le Bon Pasteur is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, offering a round, supple, and beautifully textured profile with red and black fruits, chocolate, tobacco, and hints of minerality. Medium to full-bodied, it has velvety tannins, terrific mid-palate depth, and a pure, layered style. Vinified in stainless steel and aged for 15 months in 70% new French oak, this voluptuous yet balanced Pomerol will evolve well for 20+ years. Total production: 1,500 cases."

  Wine Spectator
  Ripe and succulent in feel, with blackberry and boysenberry reduction notes sparkling with dried anise, iris and black tea accents. The finish shows smoldering charcoal and earth details, while the fruit keeps the upper hand. Rock solid. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2026 through 2038. 1,300 cases made, 325 cases imported."

  A classically styled Pomerol, a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, this feels a touch old-school on the nose albeit in a charming style, showing degraded dark red summer fruits laced with tobacco and leather, not to mention a little sandy mineral. The palate is supple, charming and fresh, with a core of leather, tobacco leaf and sandy fruit, underpinned by a peppery core of tannins, and fresh acidity. There is a charming sense of cohesion here, with nothing out of place, the savoury oaked fruit sitting nicely over the structure;in the end this is a good Le Bon Pasteur in this vintage, with a sense of light-footed persistence in the middle, and a classical finish. Tasted three times. The alcohol on the label is 14.5%."

  Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Frische Herzkirschen, rotbeerige Nuancen, kühles Bukett, zarter Edelholztouch. Safig, elegant, gute Komplexität, feiner Säurebogen, ein Hauch von Schokolade, bleibt gut haften, sicheres Reifepotenzial."

  Plenty of plums and chocolate to this young Pomerol with hints of cedar and sandalwood. It’s full-bodied with creamy and chewy tannins and a layered finish. A little old-school. Needs time to soften. Best after 2029."

  Sleek and streamlined but with a richness to the fruit profile - ripe blackcurrants and fleshy cherries. It's a little compact still but I like the softly chalky aspects and mint, liquorice, wet stone and clove touches on the finish. Certainly feels like they could have pushed this further and didn't which gives it a sense of approachability even now. It's charged and potent, but also filled with fresh red fruit acidity that lifts the overall expression."

  Weinwisser
  Opulentes Bouquet, frisch gepflückte schwarze Johannisbeere, Holundersaft und dunkler Graphit. Am satten Gaumen mit cremiger Textur, nerviger Rasse, festgezurrtem Tanninkorsett und sehnigem Körper. Im gebündelten, straffen Finale schwarze Olive, Wacholder und trockene Adstringenz, aufgerundet."

  Brambled black fruits, hedgerow, liquorice, black chocolate, well balanced and keeps its foot off the pedal while still delivering intense favours that deliver estate signature. 70% new oak, integral vinification in barrel. 5.2ha vineyard."

  Deep purple. Foxglove aroma - powerful! Then it all disappears on the palate, surprisingly. Where's the beef? Slightly drying finish. Not a favourite."
