Lalande Pomerol
Alcohol 13,0 %
This is
another cru of the well-known Denis Durantou, also owner of Ch. L’Eglise Clinet
at Pomerol. He also makes another Lalande Pomerol (see Ch. Les Cruzelles) that
comes from a clay-gravel soil and has more power, volume and structure. La
Chenade’s assembly has a bit more cabernet franc because the terroir consists
of more gravel and sand. The result is a fine, elegant wine that ripens for 30%
on new oak barrels to keep the splendid fruits.
