Description: Château La Pointe 'Ballade de La Pointe' is the approachable second wine from the renowned Château La Pointe estate in the Pomerol appellation on Bordeaux’s Right Bank. It’s typically a Merlot-dominated blend with a portion of Cabernet Franc, offering a juicy, elegant expression of Pomerol that’s softer and more accessible in its youth than the château’s grand vin. On the nose and palate you’ll find bright, fresh aromas and flavours of ripe red fruits like cherry and raspberry, often with floral and gentle spice notes, fine silky tannins and a balanced, harmonious finish that reflects the Right Bank’s plush Merlot character.
