Trigant de Boisset 2021

This estate lies on the famous gravel strip of Pomerol, on the border with Lalande-de-Pomerol, and benefits from almost pure gravel with some clay – a terroir that is particularly well suited to Merlot. Around eight hectares are planted mainly with Merlot, complemented by Cabernet Franc. The style is more fine and silky than massive, with notes of red and dark berries, violets, a touch of graphite and delicate oak spice. The tannins are polished and the structure elegant, making the wine usually accessible earlier than many more powerful Pomerols, without sacrificing depth or ageing potential. Careful vineyard work, strict selection and gentle barrique ageing create a classic Right Bank Bordeaux with charm and finesse. Ideal for customers seeking a typical but not excessively opulent Pomerol that shines both on its own and with food.

Bordeaux is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions – a name that has stood for elegance, diversity and ageing potential for centuries. Gravel, clay and limestone soils alternate, allowing fine nuances in the wines that reflect both terroir and craftsmanship.

Bordeaux is typically known for blends in which grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc work together harmoniously.

Stylistically, red Bordeaux wines are defined by a balance of fruit, structure and freshness. The white wines – usually made from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and sometimes Muscadelle – range from crisp and citrus-driven to creamy and complex.
