The 2021 Clos Vieux Taillefer is an especially delicate wine in this vintage. Dried flowers, herbs, mint, crushed autumn leaves and red cherry fruit are all nicely lifted. This light-bodied Pomerol is charming, even if some vegetal notes linger in the bac

The 2021 Clos Vieux Taillefer exhibits aromas of sweet berries, cedar box and loamy soil, followed by a medium-bodied, tangy palate that concludes with a somewhat firm finish.

A vibrant Pomerol with fresh red cherries, berries, white pepper, mineral and hibiscus. The medium-bodied palate unleashes juicy red fruit and firm, creamy tannins. Not a lot of depth here but rather crunchy and refined. A nice Pomerol for early drinking. Drink now.

Fruit-driven, clean, bright and purple-hued, this is a delightful, brisk wine with a sleek body and a harmonious finish. 16.5

A medium-bodied and fresh Pomerol with silky tannins and a creamy array of plums, currants and mulberries. Gentle and approachable.

Red plums, cherries, violets, and spice all make an appearance in the 2021 Clos Vieux Taillefer, a 100% Merlot from more sandy, gravelly soils in Pomerol. Aging in 40% new barrels, it's medium-bodied, has supple tannins, good overall balance, and the fresher style of the vintage.

Floral, jovial avec des rondeurs veloutées, voici un pomerol de plaisir immédiat.

The 2021 Clos Vieux Taillefer offers candied orange peel and sweet red fruit on the nose, which is missing some Pomerol DNA. The palate is ripe on the entry, but then there is a green element that jars on the finish.

Offene, feinduftige Nase, reife Frucht, eher dunkle Aromatik. Cremiger Gaumen, rund im Auftakt, wird dann immer straffer, frisch, mit herben Tanninen und einer lebhaften Säure. Der Wein hat Biss und durchaus Schliff, dürfte schon früh Spass zu machen. 2025-2034 (Verkostet im April 2022. Grand Cercle des Vins de Bordeaux)

Le bouquet est légèrement grillé et épicé avec une sensation de maturité importante mais contrôlée. Bouche juteuse et savoureuse, un bel enrobage, des tanins structurants mais élégants.
