Le Bon Pasteur 1989 is a mature Merlot-based red wine from the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux. Situated at the intersection between the terroirs of Pomerol and Saint-Émilion, Château Le Bon Pasteur was founded by Joseph and Hermine Dupuy, the grandparents of Michel Rolland, who played a central role in establishing the property`s reputation for quality. "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." Wine Advocate, 2003
