Chateau La Bassonnerie 2005 RED France

Pomerol is one of the world's most exclusive and glamorous wine regions ... and nowhere was more successful in 2005 - "mind-blowing" says Wine Spectator. Unprecedented demand caused prices to soar through the roof - which makes Chateau La Bassonnerie an unmissable buy! La Bassonnerie's neighbours include Chateau Trotanoy and just over the hill #900-a-bottle Chateau Le Pin. In short it's blessed with thoroughbred vineyards - key to its prodigious depth and complexity. When Gerard Faisandier bought the estate he soon realised he was sitting on a goldmine and hired Michel Rolland - "the world's greatest winemaking consultant" (Decanter) - to make the most of the fabulous natural gifts And the result is fantastic! Deepest cherry colour with wonderfully intense aromas of cherry plum and vanilla melting into a luxuriously rich chocolaty palate. Classic Pomerol power - deliciously amplified in 2005. A class act!
