Ch. L’enclos, Pomerol 2022

A standout expression from the excellent 2022 vintage in the famed Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux, Château L’Enclos 2022 captures the elegance and depth that are the hallmark of this Right Bank terroir. With a Merlot-dominated blend complemented by Cabernet Franc (and a touch of Malbec in some bottlings), this wine balances richness with freshness and refined structure.

Tasting Notes:
Deep ruby in color, the bouquet opens with enticing aromas of dark red fruits — cherry, plum and wild berries — woven with floral and spice nuances, licorice and subtle oak. On the palate, it is supple and medium-to-full bodied with silky tannins, vibrant acidity and layers of plum, raspberry, espresso and gentle chocolate on the finish. Expert tastings rate it around 92 points, reflecting its energy and well-defined fruit core.

Terroir & Winemaking:
Situated on the sunny western slopes of the Pomerol plateau, the estate benefits from a mosaic of gravel, sand and clay soils that lend complexity and freshness. The wine is matured in French oak (a significant proportion new barrels) to add structure and integrate oak nuances without overshadowing the pure fruit expression.

Food Pairing & Cellaring:
Delicious now with decanting, this vintage has the balance to age gracefully over the next 8–12 years. Ideal with roasted meats, lamb, rich poultry, game and mature cheeses — a beautifully versatile partner for refined dining occasions
