Château La Pensée 2022
Château La Pensée 2022, located in the heart of the Pomerol appellation, is a confidential property that follows in the footsteps of the great wines of the Right Bank: elegance, depth, and precision. Its vineyard, planted on clay soils mixed with fine gravel, offers an ideal terroir for Merlot, the king of Pomerol grapes, complemented by a touch of Cabernet Franc.
The 2022 vintage, with its great maturity and remarkable balance, produced concentrated and perfectly healthy grapes. Thanks to gentle vinification and measured aging in French oak barrels, the wine retains all the purity of the fruit and the suppleness of the tannins. This meticulous work reveals a refined, expressive, and harmonious Pomerol.
The nose seduces with an intense bouquet of black cherry, blackberry, and violet, enhanced by notes of truffle, cocoa, and graphite. On the palate, the texture is velvety, ample, and extremely precise. The fruit is juicy, the structure elegant, and the tannins of exemplary finesse. The finish, long and racy, stretches out with notes of black fruit, sweet spices, and undergrowth, marked by the sensuality typical of great Pomerols.
A distinctive, terroir-driven wine, both charming and profound, expressing all the nobility of Pomerol in a modern, pure style. Enjoy from 2026 or keep for around ten years. Serve between 16 and 17°C.
Grape varieties: Merlot, Cabernet Franc
