It suits red meat such as a fine steak, ribeye, or duck, but also turkey or a vegetarian dish with fried mushrooms. It comes from Lalande-de-Pomerol. This area lies in Bordeaux, on the so-called right bank of the Gironde. There, the wines are mostly made from merlot. This differs from most wines from the Médoc, on the left bank, where cabernet sauvignon dominates. The merlot in this wine gives it a friendly touch. It tastes full, rich, and robust, yet remains pleasantly smooth. Because of this, you can combine it with many dishes and also enjoy it simply with a sharp cheese.
