A blend of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2022 Vieux Maillet is terrific, pure, and concentrated, revealing cassis, black cherry, chocolate, loamy earth, and graphite-like aromatics. Medium to full-bodied, balanced, and elegant on the palate, with fine tannins and a seamless texture, it’s a beautiful, balanced, classy wine that should evolve nicely for 20+ years.

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.

Vinous Media

The 2022 Vieux Maillet is a gorgeous, highly expressive Pomerol. Blue-toned fruit, lavender, mint, licorice, leather and spice build nicely as this opens in the glass. Penetrating aromatics give the Vieux Maillet much of its presence. A host of floral and savory notes extends the finish.

James Suckling

A juicy, ripe and plummy Pomerol with berries and spiced cherries. Medium-bodied on the palate with solid fruit and firm but dissolved tannins. Long and fleshy at the end. Drink or hold.
