This is Hubert de Boüard's top wine from his Lalande de Pomerol property

The clear class of the range and one of those wines with the ‘wow’ factor built to age for decades

(from vines that average 50+ years of age)

A restrained but wideranging nose grudgingly reveals notes of dark cherry

plum and mocha in the nose and finish

Jean-Marc Pillot, Chassagne Montrachet Macherelles Blanc other_regions_italy This is Hubert de Boüard'sThis is the first wine to display any appreciable reduction and it is enough to push the underlying fruit to the background. By contrast there is good verve and freshness to the moderately dense flavors that possess almost painful intensity on the lemony, linear and chiseled finale that flashes both first rate depth and length. Its rare for Macherelles to achieve this level of quality color me impressed.
