The 2022 Château Le Bon Pasteur is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, offering a round, supple, and beautifully textured profile with red and black fruits, chocolate, tobacco, and hints of minerality. Medium to full-bodied, it has velvety tannins, terrific mid-palate depth, and a pure, layered style. Vinified in stainless steel and aged for 15 months in 70% new French oak, this voluptuous yet balanced Pomerol will evolve well for 20+ years. Total production: 1,500 cases.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Appellation

Pomerol

Pomerol, a distinguished appellation on Bordeaux's Right Bank, stands as a vinous jewel celebrated for its exceptional Merlot-dominant red wines. What makes Pomerol unique is its relatively small size, allowing for an intimate focus on individual vineyards and an emphasis on artisanal winemaking. Unlike many Bordeaux regions, Pomerol does not have a formal classification system, placing the spotlight on each estate's intrinsic quality and distinct terroir. Merlot thrives in Pomerol's clay-rich soils, crafting wines of opulence, velvety texture, and alluring plum and black cherry notes. Iconic châteaux like Pétrus and Le Pin showcase the pinnacle of Pomerol's winemaking prowess. The absence of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blends further accentuates the appellation's uniqueness. Pomerol wines are revered for their approachability in youth and the ability to evolve gracefully over time, exemplifying the timeless elegance and allure of this exceptional Bordeaux appellation.

Wine Spectator

Ripe and succulent in feel, with blackberry and boysenberry reduction notes sparkling with dried anise, iris and black tea accents. The finish shows smoldering charcoal and earth details, while the fruit keeps the upper hand. Rock solid. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2026 through 2038.

James Suckling

Plenty of plums and chocolate to this young Pomerol with hints of cedar and sandalwood. It’s full-bodied with creamy and chewy tannins and a layered finish. A little old-school. Needs time to soften. Best after 2029.

The Wine Independent

A classically styled Pomerol, a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, this feels a touch old-school on the nose albeit in a charming style, showing degraded dark red summer fruits laced with tobacco and leather, not to mention a little sandy mineral. The palate is supple, charming and fresh, with a core of leather, tobacco leaf and sandy fruit, underpinned by a peppery core of tannins, and fresh acidity. There is a charming sense of cohesion here, with nothing out of place, the savoury oaked fruit sitting nicely over the structure;in the end this is a good Le Bon Pasteur in this vintage, with a sense of light-footed persistence in the middle, and a classical finish. Tasted three times. The alcohol on the label is 14.5%.

Fresh aromas of red fruits and cherries, with touches of sweet spices. Nice precision on the palate, structured and promising. (Silver) - DWWA 2025

Vinous Media

The 2022 Pauillac de Latour has quite an intense pencil box note on the nose, with plenty of expressive black fruit and just a faint tea leaf scent developing in the glass. Quite restrained. The palate is medium-bodied, with a dash of white pepper on the entry. Quite lively and animated, classical in style, with tobacco notes towards the Saint-Julien-like finish. Difficult to believe this is a Troisième Vin! Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London.

Winery Notes

Great wines, dense, intense, with a deep color and aromas of ripe fruits, full-bodied with beautiful silky tannins and a great length. These are wines to be kept, but they are soft and fleshy. A success.
