Pomerol

Pomerol is a small wine region in Bordeaux that produces distinguished and highly sought-after red wines. There are several allowed grape varieties, but Merlot is the undisputed star of the region. It is often complemented by Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec.

These renowned wines are aromatic, complex, and elegant. They are usually ruby red with aromas reminiscent of red fruit that tend to develop into heavier expressions resembling truffles, undergrowth, and leather. On the palate, they are dense, intense, and round, with firm, powerful tannins.

Pomerol wines can age exceptionally well. These wines would go well with braised, roasted, or grilled meat dishes, especially beef, game, or veal. Petrus is the best-known vineyard in the region.
