A stylish and expressive Merlot-dominant wine from the prestigious Pomerol appellation, Château Beauséjour de Bonalgue 2016 is crafted from 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc grown on a small 1-hectare plot with clay-limestone soils enriched by iron-ore – a hallmark of Pomerol’s terroir.
Vinified traditionally in cement tanks and matured for 12 months in second-fill French oak barrels, this wine showcases elegant aromas of ripe plum, blackberry, and dark cherry, layered with hints of cedar, eucalyptus, graphite, and smoky spice. On the palate, it delivers fine-grained tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, harmonious finish.
