Better known for his prestigious Pomerol Eglise Clinet, Denis Durantou's Lalande de Pomerols are widely recognised as offering fantastic value for money. La Chenade is 80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc made from gravel soils. A light pretty nose of ripe strawberries, blueberries and damsons and violets. Good intensity of fruit in the mouth followed by cocoa and vanilla notes on the finish. Creamy tannins that are nicely integrated. Score: 90 - 92 Albany Vintners, - 27 April 2016 |

The 2015 La Chenade is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc picked between September 15-25 and on October 5 respectively, cropped at 45 hectoliters per hectare and matured in 30% new oak. This Lalande-de-Pomerol moves towards red fruit on the nose, crushed strawberry and raspberry pastilles, candied and somehow joyful. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, very fine in the mouth with a keen line of acidity. This is a very cohesive La Chenade, elegant and composed with a touch of salinity towards the finish. This is a graceful La Chenade that should drink early, but clearly has the substance to offer 12-15 years of drinking pleasure.
