Château La Connivence – Pomerol – Red – 2017:

 

Château La Connivence: The Velvet Power of Pomerol

Born from a ‘connivance’ (complicity) between passionate friends, including former soccer stars Johan Micoud and Matthieu Chalmé, and guided by top consultants, Château La Connivence is a testament to the elegance and opulence of the Pomerol appellation. Sourced from a tiny, meticulously selected plot on the Right Bank, this Merlot-dominant wine is a ‘haute couture’ creation, hand-crafted to express the grape’s ultimate potential on the region’s famous gravel and iron-rich clay (known as ‘crasse de fer’) soils.

Tasting Notes: A Profile in Seduction

• Color: Deep, intense garnet red.
• Nose: Seductive and complex, opening with rich black fruit (dark cherry, plum) and developing into tertiary notes of black truffle, mocha, forest floor, and a hint of vanilla from oak aging.
• Palate: The hallmark is its structure and texture-a velvety attack leading to a seamless, full-bodied mid-palate. Tannins are remarkably fine-grained and silky. The finish is long, persistent, and impeccably balanced, showcasing Pomerol’s signature finesse.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

This exceptional Pomerol demands an equally luxurious partner. Decant for one hour and serve at 61-63°F (16-17°C) to unlock its full aromatic complexity.
