This is the second wine of Pascal CHATONNET’s Château Haut Chaigneau and represents a great value. We selected it for anyone who wants to get to know the wines of this excellent winemaker for the first time without spending a lot of money.
The wine, 35% Merlot, 55% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, is unabashedly geared towards easy, pleasant drinking. It is delicious even when young, thanks to its fresh fruitiness.
Relatively intense garnet-red color. Rather concentrated, expressive bouquet with white flower and blackcurrant jam overtones. Becomes more open and mineral when decanted. Slightly oaky when swirled in the glass, with a spiciness reminiscent of cinnamon, licorice and cigar. Long aftertaste with notes of prunes in brandy. Well-integrated tannin without excess astringency.

We have been searching for some time for an affordable, top quality wine from Lalande de Pomerol, and were excited when we tasted this at the Top 100 Affordable Bordeaux of 2007. This intense, complex wine made by Leon NONY has blackberry and plum flavors, with a hint of mint on the nose. Mostly Merlot, this full-bodied wine comes from the right bank of the Gironde River. Try it with lamb, beef or duck.
