Château Pont de Guîtres Lalande de Pomerol

£30.80

SKU: LALANDEDEPOMEROL

Located on the best terroirs of the Lalande-de-Pomerol appellation, the plots are situated on sandy gravelly clay soils, which produce wines with good ageing potential. Made up of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the grapes for this wine were separated according to the parcel, the age of the vine and the grape variety. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for 18 months’ maturation.

Garnet in colour this wine offers aromatic aromas full of vibrant red fruits, strawberries and raspberries followed by a hint of spice. Silky, rich and rounded balance on the palate with concentrated fruit flavours leading to a long, appealing finish. Try with lamb chops, pork, roasted chicken, salmon, pasta with a creamy sauce or hard cheese (Manchego, Beaufort).

The Château au Pont de Guîtres has been passed from generation to generation and over the years it has flourished in size and innovation. In 1986, Rémy Rousselot took over the estate from his parents and along with his wife Ghislaine, they have gradually added plots from the best terroirs and today it comprises four hectares. They continue to improve winemaking techniques while respecting family traditions and cultivate the vines following sustainable principles. Together with their son Cyril, they are passionate about producing top quality wines from their family estate in the Lalande-de-Pomerol appellation.
