2019 Pomerol
Château Gombaude-Guillot
A proper cellar is a wine's home: a nurturing place of safety and comfort where it can travel through all its life stages, evolving and readying itself for your table. The Laval family has offered from their cellar this Pomerol that is but a few steps into its journey, still youthful and confident and ready to roll for the next several years. For the moment, watch how it develops in the glass, bursting with aromas of graphite, currants, plum, and pomegranate, and sporting a finely tannic backbone and lively acidity. It’s just begging for roast meat, chicken, chops—and a deep thirst.

2011 Pomerol
France | Bordeaux
Rich, velvety texture and vivid fruit, suggesting blackberry and plum with an almost wild intensity.

2011 Canon-Fronsac
France | Bordeaux
May Club Chevalier ~ At thirteen years old, its brambly berry notes are but a memory of its youth. They have evolved and taken on a woodsier sophistication of shady underbrush, violet, and nutmeg.

2020 Fronsac “Les Piverts”
France | Bordeaux
Made without added sulfur, a transparent reflection of Merlot grown in the limestone and clay of Fronsac

2016 Canon Fronsac
France | Bordeaux
You may find it to be leaner and livelier than the rich, plush Merlots of Pomerol and Saint Emilion

2020 Bordeaux Sec “Les Clous”
France | Bordeaux
It has the nerve and precision of the Définition cuvée along with additional weight and structure.

2018 Pomerol “Clos Plince”
France | Bordeaux
This is the perfect example of a fine, elegant version of Merlot.

2017 Pomerol
France | Bordeaux
The incredible depth, power, and fine but grippingly youthful tannins are text-book Pomerol

2023 Bordeaux Blanc
France | Bordeaux
Luscious and mouth-coating with generous passion fruit and lychee, yet racy at the same time.

2006 Pomerol
France | Bordeaux
It makes a grandiose impression on the palate, rich and broad with sensuous depth and a long, luscious finish.

About The Region
Bordeaux
Often considered the wine capital of the world, Bordeaux and its wines have captured the minds, hearts, and wallets of wine drinkers for centuries. For many, the wines provide an inalienable benchmark against which all other wines are measured.
Bordeaux is divided into three winegrowing regions with the city that gives the region its name in the near geographical center. The “right bank,” or the area located east of the Dordogne River, produces wines that are predominantly Merlot with small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The “left bank” is located to the west of the Garonne River and produces wines dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, with Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot.
The third region, Entre-Deux-Mers, lies between both rivers and produces white wines from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, and Muscadelle. Though technically in the left bank, it is worth noting the appellation of Sauternes, which produces arguably the world’s most famous sweet wines from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, and Muscadelle as well.
Though many top Bordeaux wines are sold en primeur (in advance of their bottling) and often through a middleman known as a negoçiant, Kermit has always preferred to purchase directly from the winemaker. For more than three decades he has sought out small producers, who make classic Bordeaux wines and are willing to play outside the negoçiant system. This ethic has led to longstanding relationships, excellent prices, and perhaps most important—wines of great value and longevity.
