    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    La Chenade, Lalande de Pomerol, 2009

    As we have stated in our vintage overview, this is not the most homogenous vintage, particularly for many of the less expensive wines. However, if you look closely, (and we did at literally hundreds), you can discover some great value wines for short to medium term drinking. La Chenade is always one of our favourite value buys and the 2009 is definitely a wine to stock up with. Seductive, soft, plumy fruit, very lush and suave with great intensity, precision and a beautiful silky texture. Very smart.

    ABV:
    12.5%
    87/100

    The 2010 La Chenade has a slightly anonymous bouquet that is missing the energy of its peers. Nothing bad, just a little predictable. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fine depth, but not complex and it comes across rather staid on the finish. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal.
