Aged for 16 months in French oak, and grown on vines that are on average 40 years old, this delightful 2017 from the producers at Moncets-Chambrun is a delicate but thoroughly enjoyable wine.
Nestled in the heart of Lalande de Pomerol, Château Moncets and Château de Chambrun stand as shining examples of tradition, sustainability, and innovation. This ambitious estate is driven by a passion for a refreshingly contemporary, terroir-focused style of Right Bank Bordeaux.
Château de Chambrun is a traditional Lalande-de-Pomerol property completely revitalised by a dynamic, young winemaking team. Its vineyards lie metres from those of Petrus, yet being on the wrong side of the commune border, its wines are offered at a fraction of the price.
"This could easily be on the other side of the Barbanne stream, with its silky Pomerol-style tannins and rich black fruit character. Patisserie-edged blackberry fruits, this is creamy through the mid palate and is one to watch out for." Jane Anson, decanter.com, 92 pts
