Chateau la Pointe 1988 Halves and 500ml Bottles

Chateau la Pointe 1988 Halves and 500ml BottlesLife began for this estate in 1845 and it was only the second in Pomerol to call itself Chateau. Bought by the d'Arfeuille family in 1941. A lovely vintage across Bordeaux. Typical Blend, Merlot, Cabernet Franc. 75cl Bottles. Abv% Not stated Bottle condition capsule good, label good, wine level into neck.

A good vintage for the region slightly overshadowed by the previous year

The estate has a reputation for consistently producing good wines even in the lesser vintages

One of the 11 cru Beaujolais

Cabernet Franc

While on first pour it was painfully obvious this was mature left bank Bordeaux

The 1981 vintage suffered with terrible growing conditions resulting in a tiny crop and as a result already quite rare

Served in the same was as a dessert wine

Certainly the case in 1975

A collaboration between Nicolas Jaboulet and the Perrin family of Chateau De Beaucastel fame

but none the less its a very good vintage

Producing opulent wines capable of long ageing
