Château Franc-Maillet Cuvée Jean-Baptiste Pomerol 2019 pours a deep purple, revealing aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, and violet laced with graphite, cocoa, and a hint of black olive.
The palate delivers juicy blackberry and cassis, framed by fresh cedar, licorice, and subtle truffle notes, with a bright, peppery lift and polished tannins. This Merlot-dominant blend (with a touch of Cabernet Franc) offers classic Pomerol plushness and structure, echoing the opulent density of top estates like Clinet but with approachable finesse. Cellar through 2035 for added complexity, or enjoy now with air. Pair with grilled ribeye and roasted mushrooms.
