[edit] Wine
Many small growers in this area of about 7.60 km² produce a plummy, generous, long lived wine. The predominant grape variety used is Merlot, often together with Cabernet Franc. Unlike other Bordeaux regions, there is no official ranking in Pomerol. The wines command high prices because of their high quality and low volume of production.
