Les Hauts Conseillants 2018 from Lalande-de-Pomerol is a rich, deeply coloured Bordeaux that reflects the refined character of Bordeaux's Right Bank. With an aromatic palette of ripe black cherries, plums and spicy accents, complemented by a subtle hint of vanilla and cedar, this wine offers a complex and inviting nose. On the palate the wine shows impressive structure and balance, with the ripe softness of Merlot perfectly complemented by the liveliness of Cabernet Franc. The flavours are layered and powerful, with notes of chocolate and a light minerality that add to the complexity. Ripe tannins and fresh acidity provide a velvety mouthfeel and a long, harmonious finish. The 2018 vintage has great ageing potential and offers a refined expression of the Lalande-de-Pomerol terroir.
Pairs well with roast duck, stews and mature cheeses.
