Chateau La Monette Lalande de Pomerol 2020

This is a dry and structured, Merlot-driven right bank Bordeaux that seriously over-delivers at the price. From a very famous appellation that offers many of the thrills of the neighbouring Pomerol and St Emilion, it is very good value for very good wine. Full of dark fruit, berry and subtle spices, it has a plush, round and soft texture that makes it hugely versatile for food matching and very easy on its own.
