Bordeaux Wine Basics - Pomerol Wine Region

[@Rossocom]

Thanks for your videos and for your passion, I learn so much from you. I am from France and I actually learn from you much more about french wines than from a very large majority of french youtubers!

[@TrophyWineHunter]

rosso: wow such a compliment..sorry for not getting the pronunciations of the French words wrong but I am trying to improve. Thanks for your continued support. I am glad you appreciate that I have a slightly different spin than other KZbinrs...I do put a lot of my personal thoughts into the videos based on my research so some of my points are pretty novel and you won't hear on many other channels. Cheers!

[@Rossocom]

@@TrophyWineHunter no worries about prononciation, some names confuse even native french speakers (like krug for example). I really love the fact that you go in details and acknowledge that the history of great wines is directly linked to the history, perseverance, talent, hard work and audacity of incredible people and also amazing « terroirs »

@@Rossocom thanks so much for the kind words. Cheers!

I’m on singapore time and I use ur videos as wind down before bed. It’s like a good bed time story about a time in the past of a place in France! Keep them coming

isobront: thank you for viewing my video and your comments. I hope I am not that boring that I am putting you to sleep! Please like, subscribe and keep watching. Cheers!

The new camera is a big step up! Also, the audio is a lot better (but could be improved still by using a better dedicated microphone or field recorder such as the Rode NT-USB or the Tascam DR-40X). Thank you for your nice video's about my favorite subject !

[@TrophyWineHunter]

Rick: for some reason my Rode mic is not working anymore with my Iphone. I was using the DJpro camera but it is a lot easier to film with my Iphone so let's see what you think about current videos. Cheers!

I was thinking about introducing Pomerol at our local wine club so this video came out at the right time. Personally I have tried only a few Pomerol and St. Emilion Merlot wines and currently I prefer the left bank over the right but I’ll keep tasting and exploring the right bank to learn more.

[@TrophyWineHunter]

Henri: thank you for your continued support. When I think of Pomerol, I think of good acidity, earthiness, dark fruit (plums), chocolate and violets. Silky on the palate. Cheers!

[@Tobi619Nr12]

Great video! I've ordered a Pomerol by Château l'Enclos from 2015 and am really excited. I really like Bordeaux wines in general, so tasty :D

[@TrophyWineHunter]

Tony: thank you for viewing my video and your kind comment. I also really like the Pomerol/Right Bank as it is a bit softer on the palate than Left Bank wines (in general). 2015 might need a few years of aging before it hits its drinking window. Please like, subscribe and keep watching. Cheers!

[@Tobi619Nr12]

@@TrophyWineHunter Yes no problem. I am quite new into wine, so I at the moment I am at a stage of searching and trying what I like and what not. I've figured out that I like wine with a full body for example. Yeah the problem is that my celar is not completely perfect, so it has no light and also the humidity is good but the temperature is between 19 and 20°C and I think that is a bit warm for aging :/

[@TrophyWineHunter]

@@Tobi619Nr12 exciting! I have a few playlist that might interest you: one for Wine Basics, one for Wine Topic and the one for Burgundy also. Enjoy! Cheers!

Just found your channel. Great info and loved the directness. Maybe ONE DAY I'll be wealthy enough to afford even one bottle of Le Pin... maybe. 😢

I just got a 2006 Chateau Latour A Pomerol at wine warehouse sale, how long should I keep it for before drinking?

[@TrophyWineHunter]

Jeremy: thank you for viewing my video and your question. I use wine searcher a lot to look at drinking windows or the wineries website. Wine searcher says drink until 2026. 2006 Right Bank is drinking very well right now with 2-3 hours aeration. Please like, subscribe and keep watching. Cheers!

Had this exact Pomerol last summer. Wonderful, silky wine. Good now, but will last for several years.

Are you familiar with Gombeude Guillot …and are they value wines?

[@TrophyWineHunter]

Sanjay: never heard or drank with the wine. I just checked online and about $80 a bottle so I am guessing in the same league as Chateau Lagrange (Pomerol)? Cheers!

[@sanjaypatelmd4669]

@@TrophyWineHunter I had That Lagrange Pomerol and it’s awesome wine. Thank you for researching for me.

[@TrophyWineHunter]

[@kairodumba7924]

Do you think a 2015 Chateau Montviel is a good first bottle to get into pomerol?

[@TrophyWineHunter]

kairo: never tried it so can't comment. Looks like a value Pomerol so I would be skeptical. The cynic in me tells me if it is value priced and really good, it wouldn't stay value priced for long. Cheers!
