Château des Annereaux

Right Bank Bordeaux from Lalande-de-Pomerol's clay-rich terroir.

Château des Annereaux sits in Lalande-de-Pomerol, the Right Bank appellation adjacent to Pomerol proper, where clay and iron-rich soils favor Merlot-based blends of depth and structure. The estate produces three principal wines. Its flagship Lalande-de-Pomerol marries Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, anchoring the portfolio with a wine that balances the region's ripe fruit with Bordeaux's architectural precision. Cuvée L'Ane Mort, a broader Bordeaux blend, incorporates Malbec and Petit Verdot alongside Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, adding textural complexity. Les Annereaux, the third offering, returns to a Merlot-forward profile with supporting Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. All three have been assessed by Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, and Decanter. Lalande-de-Pomerol's position as a secondary appellation to its illustrious neighbor means wines here often deliver the region's characteristic plushness at a more measured price point—a distinction that applies to the estate's range.
