Château Belle-Brise, Pomerol, 2018

$233.00

Château Belle-Brise is a small estate on the western edge of Pomerol known for producing limited, character-driven wines from old Merlot vines rooted in gravel, clay, and iron-rich subsoils. Farming is careful and low-intervention, and the winemaking is measured, emphasizing purity of fruit and texture over power. The 2018 vintage is a warm, generous vintage and Belle-Brise achieved concentration without losing balance.

The wine shows plum, black cherry, and a touch of fresh tobacco on the nose, with subtle notes of graphite and spice. The palate is supple and layered, carrying ripe fruit, fine-grained tannins, and a clean, persistent finish. It’s a confident Pomerol with the depth to develop further, well-suited to collectors who appreciate precision and restraint over overt richness.

Varietal: Merlot
Appellation: Pomerol, Bordeaux, France
Farming: Sustainable, low-intervention
Style: Red. Supple, refined, and age-worthy
