Although Lalande-de-Pomerol is located just to the north of the glamorous Pomerol appellation, the prices are eminently reasonable and the quality is excellent. Made from 80% Merlot, this well-structured Lalande-de-Pomerol offers crisp, fresh, Merlot-dominated fruit, backed up by firm tannins, which provide excellent aging potential.
Saint Albray was first created in the 1970s to shine like a smooth Camembert, with a milder flavor. Soft-ripened for two weeks in the mountainous Pyrénées, the rich aroma and rustic rind are backed by light orange undertones. Showcases a creamy, brioche-like texture and a faint caramel nuttiness when you dive into the rind and the center.
This lean, stalky wine has considerable acidity as well as a dry edge of tannins. It will calm into a more rounded full wine as it matures, but it seems like it will be on the thin side. - Roger Voss
