Very nice Pomerol in this so-so vintage!
Cherries, pomegranate, brown spices and freshly cut herbs. Although the tannines still are slightly coarse, IMO, this is drinking very nicely now. — 4 days ago

Wow. A real stunner. Was all beeswax and white flowers and mustard on the nose and after 15 minutes filled in on mid palate. Was kinda your dream combo of ripe vintage richness and Chablis minerality. Just killed at Lucques tonight! — 7 years ago

Lovely Sicilian wine for the Sicilian dinner at Lucques. Full bodied and slightly rustic. Just what you would expect. Great match for the food. — 8 years ago

The 2019 Bon Pasteur has more fruit concentration than either the Gravette de Certan and La Fleur de Gay tasted alongside - blackberry and wild strawberry, truffle and a touch of smoke. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, fine acidity, firm backbone yet with plenty of freshness on its sappy finish. A fine Pomerol. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

2016 vintage. Amazing to find this in my local supermarket given the microscopic production (around 5000 bottles of pure Merlot from a small 0,5 hectares vineyard). Very ripe cherry and raspberry fruit with some smokiness. Concentrated fruit, a solid structure of well-tamed tannins and good length. Should age well for at least 5 years. Another great Bordeaux value in this excellent vintage at 11,90 euro. Abv. 14%. — 4 years ago

Gorgeous. Complex yet fresh. A touch of mint and raw pepper above brandies cherries and forest floor. In a great place and paired super well with duck and pork/clams at Lucques. — 7 years ago
