Tasting notes
The softer, more gracious side of Pomerol comes across in the 2014 La Rose Figeac. Sweet tobacco, crushed flowers, red berries, mint and licorice lift from the glass in a lithe, floral Pomerol that emphasizes grace over power. Hints of smoke, graphite and new French oak add darker nuances on the finish, but the 2014 remains quite delicate in style. Tasted two times.

The Château La Rose Figeac 2014 has a rounded, dark-chocolate-tinged bouquet that feels generous at this stage. The palate is rounded on the entry with fine acidity: not a complex Pomerol, but there is a pleasant soy-tinged strawberry seam of fruit on the finish. Drink over the next 4-5 years.
Fresh and fruity with mineral and berry character. Medium body.
