Château Le Bon Pasteur, long associated with Michel Rolland, is known for Merlot-based wines with precision and supple texture. The 1989 vintage was one of the standout Right Bank years, marked by warmth, ripeness, and generous fruit.
The 1989 shows ripe plum, black cherry, fig, tobacco, and cedar, with evolved notes of cocoa, leather, and dried flowers. The palate is fuller than cooler vintages, with round tannins and balanced acidity. The wine keeps its structure while showing the richness typical of 1989 Pomerol. The finish is long, with layers of spice and earth.
This bottle is in its mature phase and pairs well with duck, lamb, mushroom dishes, or aged cheeses. It is a classic example of ripe, well-aged Pomerol from an excellent vintage.
