Bellegrave Pomerol 2014 [WA 90]

“The 2014 Bellegrave has a conservative, you could almost say predictable bouquet, one that is well defined with stony, black fruit, hints of smoke and truffle. The palate is well balanced with fine tannin, lovely delineation and focus, an extremely nuanced Pomerol that expresses that enclave of gravel soil in the western flank of the appellation. There is very astute winemaking here, a beautifully crafted Pomerol from the western flank of the appellation that will age with style.” Wine Advocate 90 Points

“A lot of citrus on the nose, and a there’s a citrusy freshness on the palate, too. This is a long way removed from a big, fleshy Pomerol, but there’s nice cranberry fruit and the wine has a lot of energy.” James Suckling 90 Points

“The 2014 Bellegrave is a delicate, midweight wine that shows the more perfumed side of Pomerol. Bright red cherry fruit, rose petal, mint and sweet spice, along with silky tannins, yield a wine that can be enjoyed with minimal cellaring.” Vinous 90 Points
