France → Bordeaux → Right Bank → Pomerol
Pomerol, around 800 hectares in size, owes its early renown to Belgian merchants. In the 1950s the British discovered the legendary Château Pétrus, the epitome of opulent, Merlot-driven wines and today one of the most sought-after wines in the world. Low yields ensure the highest quality. As the only major Bordeaux appellation without a classification, Pomerol convinces purely through style — also at estates such as Le Pin, Lafleur and L’Évangile.
