Chateau La Providence 2006

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (94)

Christian Moueix’s newest baby has hit remarkable heights in 2006. Harvested largely before any rain fell on the vineyard in mid-September, it is off the charts in concentration. Atypical for the vintage, this seamless, velvety-textured, opulent, 100% Merlot cuvee (1,550 cases produced) is potentially one of the top dozen or so wines of the year. A sleeper of the vintage, it offers beautiful kirsch liqueur aromas interwoven with scents of truffles, licorice, and spice. This full-bodied, opulent, super-concentrated, stunning Pomerol will be drinkable for 20+ years.

Earth and spice on the nose and palate, with hints of mushroom and berries. Medium-bodied, with sweet berry character and a delicate finish. Slightly stewed.
