    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    There is something wrong if Hubert de Bouard's Lalande de Pomerol is not the best wine in the commune. The 2009 is a sensational, modern expression. This is velvety, pure and packed with sweet soft fruits. This is intense and tight knit with impeccably managed tannins. A really serious and well made Lalande de Pomerol.

    Critic Reviews

    90/100
    Stephen Tanzer,
    Vinous
    Bright medium ruby-red. Brooding aromas of blackberry, blueberry, licorice and iron. Densely packed and plush, with noteworthy depth to its flavors of dark fruits, smoky minerality and iron. Not the last word in lift or personality but chewy, rich and chocolatey-ripe, and long on the aftertaste. This wine, and especially the special Le Plus de la Fleur bottling, are remarkable outperformers from Lalande de Pomerol. Owner Hubert de Bouard de Laforest, who also owns Chateau L'Angelus in Saint-Emilion, notes that the deep gravelly soil here is essentially an extension of the Pomerol plateau.
