The average age of the vines is 30+ years. The wine is fermented in small stainless steel tanks before being aged in new French oak barrels for 15-18 months dependant on the vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDeep color and delicate bouquet, as well as a softness typical of Pomerol and a generous, powerful side reminiscent of Saint-Emilion are the hallmarks of the wines of Château Le Bon Pasteur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis extraordinary complexity results from the mosaic of identities of its 21 cadastered plots in the Pomerol appellation, to the French border of St. Emilion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCritical Acclaim\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJS96\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJames Suckling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA perfumed nose of dark cherries, plums, mocha, tea leaves, cedar, hazelnuts and cigar box. Full-bodied with fine, creamy and supple tannins. Framed and balanced with a harmonious structure. The tannin backbone runs through the wine. Long and intense with wonderful purity of fruit. Drink from 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJD95\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJeb Dunnuck\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFrom the talented Michel Rolland, the 2019 Château Le Bon Pasteur shines for its richness as well as its elegance. Ripe black cherries, currants, tobacco leaf, chocolate, and floral notes all define the bouquet, and it has the vintage’s fresher, pure, vibrant style in both its aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has fabulous tannins, a seamless, layered mouthfeel, no hard edges, and a great finish. It's already hard to resist yet has another 20-25 years of prime drinking ahead of it. Best after 2022.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eD91\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDecanter\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlenty of château typicity in this plump and frank Pomerol laden with touches of blackberry, marzipan and saffron spice. I love the Cabernet Franc edge giving sculpting and lift on the finish. 70% new oak.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Le Bon Pasteur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43202804777184,"sku":"112138","price":90.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/chateau-le-bon-pasteur-pomerol_1.jpg?v=1663884231","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/chateau-le-bon-pasteur-pomerol-2019-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
