Unlike some of its more demonstrative neighbors, Beau Soleil opts for gentle extraction and respectful aging to offer an authentic and approachable expression of Merlot. It is the ideal wine to discover the finesse of the appellation without too much solemnity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe 2006 vintage in Pomerol\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2006 vintage has often remained in the shadow of the colossal 2005, making it a bargain for connoisseurs today. It is a year of structure and freshness. After several years of resting in the cellar, the tannins have softened, giving way to a very pleasant tertiary aromatic bouquet, typical of Right Bank wines that have reached their peak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eA wine for pleasure and sharing\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs we noted during our own tasting, this Beau Soleil 2006 does not try to be overpowering. It is a \"pleasant\" wine, which reveals itself with simplicity and sincerity. Its melted structure and evolved fruit make it a versatile and extremely satisfying table companion considering its price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBottle condition\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bottle comes directly from our cellar where it has been stored in optimal conditions. The bottle is in very good condition: the labels are slightly stained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe color shows nice evolved tile-colored reflections. The nose is open, with notes of prune, undergrowth, fine leather, and blond tobacco. On the palate, the attack is supple. The wine glides smoothly thanks to silky tannins and still-present acidity that brings freshness. It is a balanced wine that finishes on a soft licorice note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFood and wine pairings\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSunday roast chicken with herbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Petit salé aux lentilles\" (salted pork with lentils)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheese platter with pressed cheeses (Comté, Cantal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple pan-fried seasonal mushrooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eServing suggestions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServing temperature: 16-17°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAeration: No need for prolonged decanting; opening 30 minutes beforehand is enough to allow the bouquet to unfold.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCellaring: Drink now to enjoy its peak maturity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Château Beau Soleil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53370480558419,"sku":"CBS2006P","price":50.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0818\/9686\/6131\/files\/Chateau_Beau_Soleil_2006_-_Pomerol_75cl_2.jpg?v=1774890757","url":"https:\/\/www.wineuponatime.com\/en\/products\/chateau-beau-soleil-2006-pomerol","provider":"Wine Upon A Time","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
