Tasting notes

A blend of 90% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 1% Cabernet Franc matured in 65% new and 35% one-year-old French oak for 16 months, the 2015 Clinet offers a medium to deep garnet-purple color and slowly, provocatively unfurls in the glass with notes of crushed black cherries, warm black raspberries and red cherry compote plus nuances of bay leaves, cinnamon stick, star anise, fenugreek and forest floor and wafts of potpourri and mocha. The palate reveals a sensuous medium-bodied style offset beautifully by very firm, very silky tannins and packed with energetic, multifaceted fruit as well as great tension, finishing long with an arresting spice and floral perfume. A real stunner!

About this wine

Château Clinet is a renowned wine producer located in the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux, France. With a rich history dating back to the 16th century, the estate has been owned by the Constant and Laborde families, who have continued the tradition of producing exceptional wines. The 8 hectares of vineyards are planted with predominantly Merlot grapes, with smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, and are situated on a plateau of gravel and clay soils.

Château Clinet produces a range of wines, including the flagship wine, Château Clinet, which is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine is known for its rich, full-bodied style, with aromas of black fruit, spice, and tobacco. It is aged in oak barrels for 18-24 months, which adds complexity and depth to the wine. The estate also produces a second wine, Ronan by Clinet, which is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. This wine is aged in oak barrels for 12-14 months and is known for its approachable style, with soft tannins and a fruity character.

Overall, Château Clinet is a producer of exceptional wines that showcase the unique terroir of the Pomerol appellation. The estate's commitment to quality and tradition has earned it a reputation as one of the top wine producers in Bordeaux.
