The supple, velvety red wines from this part of Bordeaux are among the most magnificent (and expensive) in the world. Most of the wines of Pomerol are made from Merlot gripes, although here has been some blending of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines are deep-colored, full-bodied and possessing of soft tannins.
