Château La Pointe Château La Pointe Pomerol 2021 750ml

Pristine, fresh and forward nose showing currant leaves, red berries, roasted chili pepper and a hint of chocolate. Juicy and very fluid on the medium-bodied palate packed with fine, creamy tannins and a lengthy, linear finish. Already delicious, but should hold well in the next five to six years. (Zekun Shuai)

The 2021 La Pointe was tasted from a sample bottle that I had the chance to allow to open. It has a very agreeable bouquet, more immediate than some of its Pomerol peers: mulberry and raspberry, touches of peppermint and sage, all nicely defined and demonstrating a decent level of ripeness. The palate is medium-bodied with a fresh entry. Quite elegant in style, this is cohesive, approachable and endowed with fire tension. The finish, in particular, has a precision that deserves a round of applause. The 2021 is delicious and certainly a success given the growing season. (Neal Martin)

A blend of 82% Merlot and 18% Cabernet Franc, the 2021 La Pointe exhibits aromas of sweet berries, plums, licorice and raw cocoa, followed by a medium-bodied, supple and elegant palate built around tangy acids and fine, powdery tannins. An elegant, fine-boned interpretation of Pomerol, this historic 23-hectare vineyard is benefiting from improved viticulture and later picking.
