Right Bank

BORDEAUX RIGHTBANK

Pomerol Pomerol is a tiny commune that more closely resembles a Burgundy village than its left bank counterparts, with small domains taking the place of sprawling estates. For such a small area, it is incredibly diverse in style and soil type. Merlot takes the place of Cabernet Sauvignon as themain grape, with clay replacing gravel as the typical soil type. The wines tend to be approachable and charming in youth, with plumand fleshy texture. Perhaps counterintuitively, the top wines can age for decades alongside their left bank counterparts and take on savoury, meaty elements with age. There is no official classification in Pomerol. Small garagiste style properties are legends of the wine world, such as Pétrus and Le Pin .
