ChateaudeChambrunLalandedePomerolMagnum

This Merlot-dominant blend comes from decades-old vines in the excellent value region of Lalande-de-Pomerol. Crafted by the always impressive team at Domaines de Moncets, Chambrun shines with delightful black fruit character and silky tannins reminiscent of those found down the road in Pomerol.

92/100 – Old vines in a 21-acre vineyard have produced this rich, dense wine. The wine has power and concentration, black-plum fruits and licorice flavors given extra power by the partial wood aging. The wine will age and should be ready from 2024. – Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast

92/100 – Berry, light cedar and floral aromas follow through to a medium body with firm tannins that are chewy and tight. Fine texture to this. It needs two or three years to open. Try after 2023. – James Suckling
