A lovely reference nestled in the heart of the Pomerol appellation, Château Le Bon Pasteur was founded in the 1920s by the grandparents of the famous oenologist-consultant Michel Rolland. The latter took over in 1979, introducing numerous technical innovations that quickly contributed to its international renown.
Accompanied by his wife Dany, they have never ceased to magnify the grandeur of the terroir of their Domaine, offering complex, richly elegant crus. Today, the team is led by Benoît Prévot, with Michel Rolland as consultant.
The Château Le Bon Pasteur is planted on 6.6 hectares of gravel-clay and gravel-sand soils. The grape varieties are 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet franc. The wines are aged for 15 to 18 months in French oak barrels, 80% of which are new.
L'Etoile de Bon Pasteur is the Second wine produced on the estate.
The Château Le Bon Pasteur produces wines that are almost exemplary, so refined, velvety and deep are they, developing sublime aromas of evolution after a few years of cellaring.
Produced from a very hot, sunny vintage, Bon Pasteur 2003 is a generous, velvety interpretation of the Pomerol terroir. The nose opens with a greedy bouquet of candied black fruits: plum, fig and blueberry, accompanied by hints of cocoa and black truffle. A hint of balsamic appears after a few minutes, reflecting the richness of the vintage. On the palate, the wine is powerful and generous. Perfectly blended tannins give it plenty of mellowness, while fine acidity maintains the balance. The aromatic palette of jammy fruit, mocha and spice lingers long after the tasting is over.
