A concise look at Bordeaux’s Right Bank: a rare local white, a mature Saint-Émilion with developed complexity, and a refined Pomerol. Merlot and Cabernet Franc in focus.
🦉 Nicole Tapon «Blanc de Sirene» Bordeaux 2009 (100ml)
White Bordeaux flies way too far under the radar for our liking, and it's because of wines like this that they should be championed more! Equal parts Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon (the latter from 90-year-old vines) marry with lesser-known grapes Sauvignon Gris and Muscadelle. This is concentrated and floral with notes of toasted honey and almond. Bone-dry, with a backbone of fresh acidity, this is a fabulous wine that still has so much to give.
🦉 Nicole Tapon Saint-Émilion 2005 (100ml)
2005 was a cracking vintage for Bordeaux, exemplified in this powerful yet elegant red. This is juicy and ripe, with layers of complexity and notes of leather and red plum. Silky tannins and a dusting of sweet woody, vanilla spice.
🦉 Chateau Nenin Pomerol 2013 (100ml)
This pup is now over a decade old, and it's all the better for it! Jammy, tar-y, brooding black fruit dominates up top, with brighter notes of dried strawberries and red fruit on the palate. This is silky and supple, with a lick of funk and dried mandarin notes on the finish. Intriguing and totally delicious!
