此酒廠隸屬世界級的”飛行”釀酒師－Michel Rolland。他之所以被稱為”飛行釀酒師”，是因為他在世界各國的名廠內擔任釀酒顧問，比方說，義大利的Ornellaia, 智利的Casa Lapostolle，加州Napa的Harlan Estate以及Bryant Family。Michel Rolland主張要儘量的晚收成以取得葡萄最佳的成熟度，他同時主張長時間的浸泡期，以釀產色深、豐厚以及可酒存的佳釀。這樣的主張與Petrus的老闆Christian Moueix相反，因而引起一些不支持者批評，但現在釵h波爾多的釀酒師已採用Rolland的方式釀酒，而且從他擔任顧問的幾家Pomerol酒廠：Clos l’Eglise, Clinet以及La Fleur de Gay來說，他們所釀之酒的品質已可媲美Petrus，可見Rolland還是有他獨見之道。Le Bon Pasteur之酒為Pomerol頂級酒之一，酒質肥厚、酸度不高，有圓厚的果味以及近完美的平衡感。
This wine has reached full maturity very quickly. The wine shows some amber at the edge, with a sweet nose of roasted coffee intermixed with caramel, mocha, black cherry, and tobacco. The wine is medium-bodied, beautifully sweet and fleshy on the attack, but then narrows out ever so slightly in the mouth. There remains some tannin to be resolved. Anticipated maturity: Now-2014.Last tasted, 12/02.
WA:90 Drink Date:1996 - 2008
Although the 1989 Bon Pasteur did not jump off retailers' shelves, I have had it frequently, and the wine consistently scores in the 89-90 point category. The nose offers up an interesting concoction of seaweed, salty ocean breezes, smoke, and sweet chocolate-covered cherry candy. There remains a firm, tannic edge to this medium to full-bodied wine, but it is developing considerable complexity, as well as additional richness and weight. This delicious 1989 should continue to drink well for 10-12 years. Last tasted 11/96
