2020 Chateau Bechereau, Lalande de Pomerol

Chateau Béchereau has been family owned since the early 19th century and has vineyards in Neac on excellent clay soils. Half of the wine is fermented in stainless steel before ageing in oak barrels for 12 months, the other half is fermented in oak. This combination creates a classic,claret with a good balance of black fruits, toasty notes and some sweet spice. The intense, seductive, raisiny richness of Merlot is at its most evident in Pomerol.
