The red wines A.O.C. Pomerol are prestigious and recognized wines from the Bordeaux region, in France. They are characterized by their elegance, structure, and complexity.
At the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée Pomerol, two main red grape varieties are grown: Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Merlot is the dominant grape in Pomerol and represents most of the planted vineyards. It brings smoothness, roundness, and ripe fruit flavors to the wine, with hints of plums, black cherries, and blackberries. Cabernet Franc is also grown in Pomerol, although to a lesser extent. This variety brings structure, freshness, and herbaceous notes to the wine, with aromas of green pepper, violets, and subtle spices. In some cases, small amounts of other red grape varieties can also be found in the region, such as Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon, although they are less common.
The red wines A.O.C. Pomerol are made following a careful and meticulous process. The grapes are harvested by hand at the optimum moment of ripeness. A meticulous selection of the clusters is carried out to ensure the quality of the fruit used in the production of the wine. The grape clusters are destemmed to separate the grapes from the stems and then crushed to release the juices and break the skins. The obtained must is placed in fermentation tanks, where selected yeasts are added, or spontaneous fermentation is allowed with the natural yeasts present in the grapes. During this process, the sugars are converted into alcohol and characteristic aromas and flavors are produced. During fermentation, a maceration is carried out to extract the compounds from the skins, such as color, tannins, and aromas. The duration of the maceration can vary according to the style and the desired structure of the wine.
Pomerol wines often go through a period of aging in oak barrels, which can last anywhere from 12 to 24 months or longer, depending on the producer and the style of the wine. During aging, the wine acquires complexity, smoothness and the aromas and flavors of the oak are integrated. After aging, the different batches of wine are mixed to achieve the desired profile. The wine is then bottled and, in some cases, may continue to mature in the bottle before being marketed. The production of red wines A.O.C. Pomerol is characterized by its artisanal approach and meticulous attention to each stage of the process. This contributes to the production of high-quality wines, with character, complexity, and elegance.
