Château Tour Maillet 2016 is a Right Bank Bordeaux red wine from the Pomerol appellation. This 100% Merlot cuvée comes from a tiny 2.2-hectare single vineyard situated in the lieu-dit of Maillet. The siliceous-gravelly soil lends the wine a defined finesse and mineral tension that contrasts with the heavier clay sites of the plateau. In 2016, the estate utilised a long 28-day vatting period and aged the wine for 12 months in 50% new oak. The wine exhibits a deep bouquet of black cherries, violets and empyreumatic notes of cedar and tobacco. The palate is fleshy and dense, yet it possesses a tonic, vibrant attack that reflects the vintage`s cooling influences. Tannins are coated and supple, leading into a superb finish that combines ripe fruit with a peppery, spicy complexity.
