Pomerol
Situation and soil about Pemerol area
Approximately 30 km East of the agglomeration of Bordeaux, lies the prestigious Pomerol wine area. Pomerol is located between Libourne and Saint Emilion, Pomerol is one of the most prestigious wine appellations of France. With its limited surface (800 ha), Pomerol was formally part of Saint-Emilion until 1936 when the A.O.C. Pomerol was decreed by INAO. Pomerol is situated on a plateau, the wine area’s successive terraces slope down to the Isle stream and the Dordogne river. Pomerol is a compact plateau of clay spreads over the appellation’s heart, gathering the most reputated wines of the Pomerol area. The soil at Pomerol is relatively heterogeneous but generally speaking, the grounds are of gravelly nature for the greatest properties, with a tendency to become more argillaceous in the Western part of the district from Pomerol and more sandy near Libourne – the one notable exception being Château Pétrus whose soil is composed of black clays. One of the soil’s particular features at Pomerol is the high proportion of iron hard pan in the subsoil. It is a sort of ferruginous sandstone locally called “crasse de fer”
Characteristics about Pomerol appellation
Small domains whose vineyards are divided into tiny plots characterize this Pomerol area. This explains why the wines of Pomerol are so rare, expensive and difficult to find. The price to quality ratio is not very attractive, but the exceptional quality of the greatest Pomerol’s Chateaus truly makes each of them an unforgettable tasting experience. At Pomerol the wine organoleptic features situate it between burgundy growths and other prestigeous Bordeaux appellations. Mainly resulting from Merlotvines, the Pomerol’s wines are marvelously velvety and fruity in their youth, before evolving into noble tertiary tones such as grilled almonds and black truffles.
