Clos Lavaud - Lalande de Pomerol Estate 2019

Clos Lavaud remains a real hidden treat among the Liquid Kosher offerings. This wine is a small production blend to begin with, and is promptly gobbled up by savvy wine drinkers with an eye towards value. This is only the fifth vintage of this wine ever produced, and the second that we’ve been able to offer our club members. Lalande de Pomerol is a very small “neither here nor there” appellation, carved out of Pomerol proper by a narrow stream, more comparable to one of the many satellite regions of St Emilion. But there is just something about Lavaud that makes it so appealing and delicious, it just begs to be opened now. A bit lighter than Pomerol, and more refined than the St Emilion wines, this one always lands at being “just right.”
