The young Olivier Techer of Gombaude-Guillot is turning heads with each new release, and this 2003, made by his mother, will give you a good idea of what you can expect should you cellar some of his fine Pomerol. It offers everything you’d hope for in a mature Merlot from esteemed soils. It makes a grandiose impression on the palate, rich and broad with sensuous depth and a long, luscious finish.
In the heart of the Pomerol plateau, on the Right Bank of Bordeaux, the vineyards of Château Gombaude-Guillot have been a family property for so long that the current generation doesn’t even know when they were first acquired. The Bélevier family was already well established as vignerons in Pomerol and Néac when this property was passed down to Marie Bélevier as a dowry in 1868. Today, Claire Laval, Marie’s great-granddaughter, runs the estate with her son Olivier Techer. Though the estate is already certified organic, Claire is now pursuing the more stringent requirements of biodynamics. The wines of Gombaude-Guillot are classic reflections of Pomerol: rich and supple, with a deep gravel mineral structure.
