Lots of blue fruit and stone with some slate. Medium to full body. firm tannins and a flavorful finish. Racy and structured at the finish.

The 2019 La Pointe was tasted on three occasions including direct from the property. which is what I use for this tasting note. It has a very attractive nose. initially tightly coiled and demanding coaxing/aeration. It unfurls to reveal blackberry. briary and light shaved black truffle aromas -
très Pomerol. perhaps due to increased contribution of Cabernet Franc (24%). The palate is medium-bodied with (and you can quote me on this) the finest tannins and silkiest texture that I have ever encountered from this property. Very fresh from start to finish. this feels cohesive and sophisticated. quite simply the best La Pointe ever. Bravo winemaker Eric Monneret.
