Sappy, juicy, deep ruby red colour, grilled cedar, sandalwood oak. A slow build through the palate, velvety tannins, coupled with salinity and juice, great quality in the vintage. Since 2023 owners Generalis also have Croque Michotte in St Emilion (not tasted). Harvest 23 September to 4 October. 92 points

The 2024 La Pointe is a very sexy Pomerol. Aromatic and silky, with lovely finesse, La Pointe is terrific. Crushed flowers, bright red-toned fruit, cedar and mocha are finely delineated in this mid-weight, vibrant 2024. 91-93 points

The 2024 La Pointe has a deep colour and a comparatively powerful bouquet of opulent black and blueberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a structured opening. Graphite-tinged black fruit leads to a sapid and quite structured finish. This is a linear La Pointe that maybe just needs a little more sustain, but it should repay a couple of years in the cellar. 90-92 points
