Chateau Le Bon Pasteur, Pomerol, France 2018 Fleur Cardinale I was blown away by

I was blown away by the 2016 Château Marquis d'Alesme Becker on each of the three times I was able to taste it

with vibrant acidity giving ample lift

with aromas of black fruit that are crisp and clean

marked by all the hallmarks you’d expect from France’s golden standard for Sauvignon Blanc

The firm tannins and bold structure are mitigated by succulent and ripe black-currant flavors

Chateau Le Bon Pasteur, Pomerol, France 2018 Fleur Cardinale I was blown away byThis is a wonderful Le Bon Pasteur with incredibly silky tannins that fill the mouth. Its full bodied yet ever so agile and bright. The tannins build at the end, as is the case in other top wines of the vintage. 97 Pts James Suckling
