Château Beauséjour de Bonalgue 2018 Pomerol

A Merlot-dominated Pomerol from Bordeaux. The grapes are hand-harvested in Pomerol, vinified in steel tanks and aged in French oak barrels. The soils are clay and gravel. Serving temperature is 16–18°C. Aromas include blackcurrant, cherry, plum, mocha and liquorice. The palate is juicy fruit with rounded tannins and lightly spiced oak. The mouthfeel is full and silky, with fresh acidity and a long finish. It suits duck, beef fillet, soft cheeses and mushroom risotto.
