Bon Pasteur Pomerol, 2018

Bon Pasteur Pomerol 2018 is a finely crafted Bordeaux red from one of Pomerol’s most respected estates, blending Merlot and Cabernet Franc in the classic right-bank style. Known for its elegance, depth, and silky structure, it captures the richness and finesse that make Pomerol wines so sought after.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this vintage is typically deep ruby to garnet, with a polished, inviting appearance. The nose can open with ripe plum, black cherry, violet, cedar, and subtle earthy notes, while the palate is usually supple and layered, showing generous dark fruit, refined tannins, and a long, balanced finish. 2018 is a vintage with strong aging promise in Bordeaux, and Bon Pasteur Pomerol should develop beautifully over time. With proper cellaring, its fruit and structure are likely to evolve into more complex notes of truffle, tobacco, dried flowers, and sweet spice.

Production
Bon Pasteur is located in the clay-and-gravel soils of Pomerol, a terroir well suited to Merlot, which often forms the backbone of the blend alongside Cabernet Franc. The grapes are typically harvested with close attention to ripeness, and vinification is carried out to preserve fruit purity, texture, and site expression, often with careful aging in oak to add structure and complexity.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, game birds, mushroom dishes, and truffle risotto. Serve at around 16-18°C, and consider decanting for 30-60 minutes if drinking young to allow the aromas and texture to open fully.

Producer
Bon Pasteur is a noteworthy Pomerol estate with a reputation for producing elegant, cellar-worthy wines that reflect the character of the appellation. While Pomerol is famously compact and highly prized, estates like Bon Pasteur contribute to its global reputation for producing some of Bordeaux’s most refined Merlot-based wines.
