Tasting notes
Deep, bright ruby-red. Musky, rather wild aromas of black raspberry, espresso, chocolate, leather and meat. Sweet, soft and stuffed with raspberry, plum and leather flavors. A pliant midweight that finishes with a fine dusting of tannins and lingering notes of leather and pepper.

This property appears to be making better and better wines with each vintage. The soft, silky, tasty 2007 boasts copious black cherry and ripe strawberry fruit interwoven with notions of sandy soil. Enjoy this medium-bodied, plush Pomerol over the next 7-10 years.
Medium ruby. Sexy aromas of black cherry and fruity dark chocolate. Lush and soft, with a restrained sweetness to the nicely concentrated black fruit and bitter chocolate flavors. Gives a rather high-pH mouth feel, suggesting that it will be best for early drinking. Finishes with chewy tannins and good length.
Sweet and mellifluous and lively with some freshness. Well done! Good balance. Long. (JR)
About the producer
Close to the Pomerol church, the Labruyère family purchased this property in 1994. They immediately set to work, restructuring the vineyard, renovating the winery and allowing the property to emerge from the shadows.
