The 2020 Chateau Vieux Chevrol is a Lalande de Pomerol, Bordeaux red wine known for its midweight body and elegant fruit and spice characteristics. It is produced primarily from Merlot, with some Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. This has aromas of ripe black fruits like blackberry, plum, and black cherry, with hints of violet, mint, spice, and mocha. On the palate, a medium-bodied, silky, and balanced wine with smooth, round tannins and a flavorful finish. It offers a core of dark red fruits, along with earthy, spicy, and woody notes such as gravel, tar, mocha, and tobacco. It pairs well with a variety of dishes, including roasted or braised beef, game, and aged cheeses. The wine offers excellent value for its price point, especially for a well-made Lalande de Pomerol. Its ability to be enjoyed both young and after cellaring makes it a versatile and worthwhile purchase for many wine drinkers.
