Recensioner av Chateau Le Bon Pasteur Pomerol 2021

94-95/100 James Suckling
"This is a very balanced and pretty wine with ultra-fine tannins that are integrated and persist through the wine. It’s medium-bodied with lovely length and depth. A focused and thought-provoking wine for the vintage."

94-95/100 Andrew Caillard
"Deep crimson. Intense lead pencil/ cedar dark plum aromas. Generously concentrated wine with ample dark plum, blackberry fruits, plentiful cedary/ al dente tannins, superb mid-palate volume and fresh linear acidity. Finishes chocolaty firm with chinotto bittersweet notes. Masterful wine with very good density, fruit complexity and torque. 80% merlot, 20% cabernet franc. 18 months in 70% new and 30% seasoned oak. 13.5% alc"

93-95/100 Vinous - Antonio Galloni
"The 2021 Le Bon Pasteur was impressive both times I tasted it. Vibrant and deep, the 2021 offers up generous red cherry/plum fruit, rose petal, spice, mint and licorice, all with a sense of exoticism that is hard to miss. There's a feeling of real energy and vibrancy I don't recall seeing here previously. The 2021 is one of the best vintages in recent memory. Sadly, yields are just 20 hectoliters per hectare. What a pleasant surprise the 2021 is. Don't miss it."

93/100 Decanter
"Concentrated and intense on the palate in terms of depth of flavour - the blackcurrant, black cherry and damson fruit to the fore but set against firm, grippy and quite dense tannins that coat the whole mouth giving a liquorice, spice and slate tone to the palate. It's on the fuller end of the vintage and instead of delicacy you get a good dose of vibrant fruit power and tannic backbone. A bold and characterful wine, really quite abundant with all the individual elements on show. Still super-youthful, with swagger and pent up energy at this point. Lots of potential. Tasted twice"

92-94/100 Vinous - Neal Martin
"The 2021 Le Bon Pasteur has a delineated and fresh bouquet with attractive blackberry and wild strawberry fruit and hints of wilted iris flower. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and substance, fine grip with a fresh and minerally finish. I tasted three samples over the course of three weeks, and concluded this is a great success in a challenging vintage. Whilst in the past I have been critical of this Pomerol, this is an unexpected surprise that I look forward to re-tasting once in bottle. Tasted three times with consistent notes."

91-93/100 The Wine Cellar Insider
"Black cherries, incense, espresso, flowers and red fruits show with ease in the nose and in the round, soft, medium-bodied, elegant, plummy palate. The wine will take a year or two for the oak to fully integrate. Drink from 2024-2040."
