La Chenade Lalande de Pomerol 2020

La Chenade Lalande-de-Pomerol 2020 - Lalande-de-Pomerol, Bordeaux, France

A warm and generous Lalande-de-Pomerol with ripe plum, black cherry and cassis framed by soft spice and gentle earthiness. On the palate the wine delivers plush dark fruit with a smooth, rounded mid-palate and fine, integrated tannins, balanced by vibrant acidity that keeps the finish fresh and lifted. Elegant yet approachable, it shows both immediate appeal and enough structure to evolve with a few years in bottle - a terrific example of Lalande-de-Pomerol’s rich, Merlot-driven style.

This estate is part of the Durantou portfolio, which is one of our favourite Bordeaux families here at KWM. Denis Durantou was one of Bordeaux’s most quietly influential winemakers, best known for elevating estates such as Château L’Eglise-Clinet, Château Montlandrie and Château Les Cruzelles to cult status through precision, restraint and an uncompromising focus on terroir. Renowned for his meticulous vineyard work and understated cellar approach, he championed balance and freshness long before they became fashionable, leaving a lasting legacy that continues to shape Right Bank Bordeaux today. The Durantou organisation is now led by Denis' daughters Noémie and Constance who are carrying the tradition into the future with grace and profound skill.
