Chateau Marcadis Lalande de Pomerol - Les Grands Chais de France

The barrel-aged Lalande de Pomerol from the Bordeaux wine-growing region presents a bright purple color in the glass. The nose of this red wine from Bordeaux seduces with nuances of mulberry, lavender, black currant and rose. If we trace the aromatics further, oak, cigar box and toasted barrique come through, encouraged by the oak influence.

This French wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor. It was bottled with exceptionally little residual sugar. This is a true quality wine that clearly stands out from simpler qualities, and so this Frenchman naturally enchants with the finest balance despite all its dryness. Aroma does not necessarily need a lot of sugar. Balanced and multifaceted, this fleshy red wine presents itself on the palate. In the finish, this youthful red wine from the wine-growing region of Bordeaux finally inspires with considerable length. There are again hints of black currant and rose.
