Medium bodied, slightly strict, especially for Pomerol, red plum filled wine is ready for prime time drinking with an hour or so of air. This is not a wine I'd age for long term development. 2,795 Views Tasted Mar 4, 2017 |

Le Clos du Beau Père (Pomerol)
One of the best values in Pomerol today. Produced by Jean Luc Thunevin, the wine serves up fresh, black plum, mocha, earth and espresso. Medium bodied, round and reasonably open. If you like your wines young, you can enjoy this in its youth. Else, this should be better with a few years of bottle age. 2,302 Views Tasted Feb 26, 2014 |

Le Clos du Beau Père (Pomerol)
Opulent, lush, forward style of Pomerol with perhaps a bit too much oak. But it's hard not to like all the plush, chocolate covered black cherries, fresh plums, earth and smoke. It's a good value for Pomerol, which is hard to find these days. 3,650 Views Tasted Aug 4, 2013 |
