Chateau Les Hauts-Conseillants '2016' HT
The bouquet is marked by blueberry and orange peel which bring a beautiful fruity and tangy note. On the palate, the tannins are assertive and well defined. They perfectly express the personality and balance of this very great vintage full of charm and vivacity.

“An attractive bouquet of blackberries, brioche and oranges, very lively. It’s a conservatively styled Lalande de Pomerol with a hint of black pepper on the finish!” -Wine Advocate
“Slightly stewed red fruits, fleshy, rich substance, pepper, elegant aging.” - Point
