Pomerol AOC

Pomerol AOC is a designated wine-producing area in Bordeaux, France, known for its high-quality red wines primarily made from Merlot grapes, with some Cabernet Franc. The AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) ensures that wines meet strict standards related to origin, grape varieties, and production methods. Pomerol’s unique terroir—its gravelly soils and local climate—contributes to the richness, softness, and complex flavors of its wines. Unlike some larger regions, Pomerol doesn’t produce a large volume of wine but is renowned for its small, premium, and collectible bottles that often exhibit elegance, maturity, and depth.
