2020 Chateau des Ormeaux Lalande-de-Pomerol
$29.95 $38.95
An exceptional, sustainably-crafted Right Bank gem that rivals its most prestigious neighbors. Third-generation winemaker Julien Richard crafts Chateau des Ormeaux from a tiny 3.6-hectare plateau in Néac, the same magnificent clayey-gravel terroir as icons like Petrus and La Fleur Petrus that are located just a mile away. Screamingly good value with elegant floral notes of violet, sweet incense, and cedar. The palate is smooth with velvety tannins and a long juicy finish. If you want an over-achieving daily drinker then look no further.
