Region
Saint-Émilion and Pomerol sit next to each other on the right bank of Bordeaux. Saint-Émilion is home to some of the most prestigious wines in the world such as Cheval Blanc and Angelus. Only red wine qualifies for the appellation and is predominately made from Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Pomerol is located in the east of the Bordeaux region, near Saint-Émilion. While most appellations are named after a village or town within their boundaries, Pomerol has no such epicentre. Pomerol is an 800ha gravel bank with boasts the famous names of Petrus and Le Pin and produces wines made predominantly out of Merlot.
Producer
Vanessa Aubert comes from a family of winemakers who can trace their roots back on the right bank of Bordeaux to the 18th century. Vanessa joined the family business in 2004 as oenologist and in 2015 bought her own property in St Emilion Grand Cru and created Chateau d’Anielle which she named in honour of her father, Daniel.
Tasting Notes
A round, fruit-forward wine from the excellent 2015 vintage. Made from a classic blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, notes of blackberries, cherry and plum combine with cinnamon and subtle toast notes from 18 months ageing in oak.
Food
Serve with roast beef or mature cheese.
