What I’m drinking...<br />
Having just received a leg of lamb, which<br />
was hand-reared by my colleague James<br />
from his small holding in Wiltshire, I<br />
was so exciting to dive into our portfolio<br />
and pick something out a little special -<br />
Château Sergant Lalande-de-Pomerol was<br />
my choice and it really did not disappoint!<br />
I love to stray off the beaten track and<br />
find wines that are from the lesser-known<br />
regions – even somewhere like Bordeaux<br />
you can find some gems that represent<br />
exceptional value for money. Lalande-de-<br />
Pomerol is a satellite region just north of<br />
Pomerol, and is a region that I always keep<br />
my eye on for these types of wines.<br />
After decanting this beautiful wine, I<br />
shared and drank it with the family over<br />
our Sunday roast. The wine was powerful,<br />
well-structured, and full of fresh notes of<br />
raspberries and blackberry jam. Vanilla<br />
and spice followed and a depth of flavour<br />
evoked hints of chocolate, smoke, and<br />
caramel, offering a lovely savoury nature.<br />
A wine to really savour!<br />
Château Sergant<br />
Lalande-de-Pomerol<br />
Bordeaux, France<br />
Oak ageing of 12<br />
months has greatly<br />
impacted this wines<br />
power, structure and<br />
long ageing potential.<br />
On the nose, fresh<br />
notes of raspberries<br />
and blackberry jam are<br />
followed by vanilla and<br />
spice. A great length<br />
and depth of flavour<br />
takes over and hints of<br />
chocolate, smoke and<br />
caramel offer a lovely<br />
savoury nature. A wine<br />
to really savour. (s)<br />
