This Saturday, we're pouring both banks of the Barbanne on one table. The stream is small enough to step across, but on one side sits Pomerol, and on the other, Lalande-de-Pomerol: same clay, same Merlot, same warm 2019 sun.
Our wine of the week, Château Grand Ormeau () Cuvée Chevalier 2019, comes from the Lalande side: Merlot-led and generous, dark plum and mocha, supple tannins, $26. Across the stream, Château Latour à Pomerol 2019, farmed by the Moueix family alongside Petrus and Trotanoy, is old-vine Merlot on the plateau: black cherry, truffle, plush tannins built for a decade, $100.
