Some eight hectares produce Clinet, much of the vineyards being located around the château in the lieu-dit that lends it its name, complemented by a parcel by the church and another not far from the headquarters of the syndicat viticole. Today, these holdings are planted with some 80% Merlot, but before phylloxera, Cabernet Sauvignon was widely planted in this sector, and today, Laborde is replacing Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon (he retains a parcel of old-vine Cabernet Sauvignon dating back to 1950). Vines are hedged at 1.5 meters, and cover crops help to manage water in the iron-rich clays near the château, allowing access by tractor even after recent rainfall. In the winery, Laborde now employs small stainless steel tanks that permit parcel-by-parcel vinification, and a vertical press has been the order of the day since as long ago as 2001. What's really evolved in recent years is the barrel program: oak is long-seasoned (4-5 years), and some large formats have joined the classic 225-liter barriques; but above all, lighter, less impactful toasts are now chosen, meaning Clinet's 80% new oak is much more discreet in its aromatic and textural contribution than was the case a decade ago. Laborde's 2018 turned out brilliantly in that warm, dry vintage, and the 2019 looks to be even better.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eDecanter | \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(148, 3, 3); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eD 94\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Oct 31, 2023\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eDrink: 2025-2042\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA very fine Pomerol with dark, intense, inky black fruit on the palate.

Established in Libourne since 1937, Jean-Pierre Moueix perceived early on the excellent quality of the Pomerol appellation. Chateau La Fleur-Petrus was his very first acquisition in 1950. Quickly after, he purchased Chateau Trotanoy in 1953. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe personality of Chateau La Fleur-Petrus lies in the careful association of the famous gravel and clay terroirs of the plateau of Pomerol. The vineyard, located at 33 to 38 meters above sea level, draws its identity from the nuances of soil and elevation of each parcel. Those parcels which are dominated by gravel tend to yield wines of great elegance, while those dominated by clay are distinctly velvety, dense, and structured. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChateau La Fleur-Petrus is composed predominantly of Merlot, which lends silkiness and generosity to the wine.

This historic estate, situated exclusively on the plateau, was named in the 18th century for its position across the localities Petrus and La Fleur. Established in Libourne since 1937, Jean-Pierre Moueix perceived early on the excellent quality of the Pomerol appellation. Chateau La Fleur-Petrus was his very first acquisition in 1950. Quickly after, he purchased Chateau Trotanoy in 1953. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe personality of Chateau La Fleur-Petrus lies in the careful association of the famous gravel and clay terroirs of the plateau of Pomerol. The vineyard, located at 33 to 38 meters above sea level, draws its identity from the nuances of soil and elevation of each parcel. Those parcels which are dominated by gravel tend to yield wines of great elegance, while those dominated by clay are distinctly velvety, dense, and structured. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChateau La Fleur-Petrus is composed predominantly of Merlot, which lends silkiness and generosity to the wine. Cabernet Franc, planted on gravel and fine clay, contributes rigor and complexity, while a small percentage of Petit Verdot, planted on fine gravel, offers a hint of spice to the finish. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine combines a unique elegance with the generosity and structure typical of the great vineyards of Pomerol. An attentive tasting reveals remarkable refinement, complexity, and a touch of violet. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"1855 The Bottle Shop Pte Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39966659608640,"sku":"RDFR20002388","price":738.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7728\/6464\/files\/chateau-la-fleur-petrus-pomerol-750ml.jpg?v=1762934253"},{"product_id":"chateau-clinet-pomerol-1994-750ml","title":"Chateau Clinet Pomerol 1994 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe 1994 Château Clinet is a classic Pomerol, featuring dark fruit aromas like blackberries and plums, with earthy and spicy notes.

Quickly after, he purchased Chateau Trotanoy in 1953. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe personality of Chateau La Fleur-Petrus lies in the careful association of the famous gravel and clay terroirs of the plateau of Pomerol. The vineyard, located at 33 to 38 meters above sea level, draws its identity from the nuances of soil and elevation of each parcel. Those parcels which are dominated by gravel tend to yield wines of great elegance, while those dominated by clay are distinctly velvety, dense, and structured. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChateau La Fleur-Petrus is composed predominantly of Merlot, which lends silkiness and generosity to the wine.

A warm April was followed by a cool, wet May with occasional spikes of heat. Flowering at the beginning of June was very satisfactory and promised an early, high quality vintage. Alternating periods of rain and warmth then slowed growth and much of the advance was lost; July was cold and wet, August was cloudy and fairly cool. From the end of August, the region experienced an \"Indian summer\" with hot, dry weather until the end of October. It was the warmest September recorded for nearly a century...\u003cbr\u003eAs a result, the grapes were able to ripen gradually during September and October in the unusually mild conditions and the harvest was of excellent quality.\u003cbr\u003eWe postponed the start of harvests several times on account of the lingering, consistently fine weather... The Merlot was picked between 22 September and 4 October and the Cabernet Franc on 3 and 7 October.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocation\u003cbr\u003ePomerol The Pomerol appellation stretches on a plateau on the right bank of the Dordogne river, about 40km north east of Bordeaux. In Pomerol, merlot is king. The typical clay soils of Pomerol allow this varietal to express like nowhere else in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTerroir\u003cbr\u003eGrapes selected for Blason are stemming from clay-sand and silty sand slopes with a clayey subsoil. These ligther soils allow for better root penetration and provide more regular and less limiting water supplies. The resulting wine is supple and elegant, lighter in style and more fruit driven than the Grand Vin, making it more accessible in its youth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaking\u003cbr\u003eAlcoholic fermentation take place in temperature-controlled concrete vats, during which some gentle pumping-overs are carried out to enhance extraction. The wine is then left to macerate without external intervention.\u003cbr\u003eFollowing maceration, 80% of the wine is transferred to French oak barrels that had held one wine, and 20% to vats for malolactic fermentation, and a maturation period of about 15 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrapes\u003cbr\u003e93 % Merlot 7 % Cabernet franc\u003cbr\u003eTasting\u003cbr\u003eThis is an excellent vintage for Evangile; the nose is intense with toasted and vanilla-scented notes, accompanied by notes of fresh fruit, and black stone fruit.\u003cbr\u003eOn the palate, the wine has great intensity with very dense, silky, ripe tannins.

This historic estate, situated exclusively on the plateau, was named in the 18th century for its position across the localities Petrus and La Fleur. Established in Libourne since 1937, Jean-Pierre Moueix perceived early on the excellent quality of the Pomerol appellation. Chateau La Fleur-Petrus was his very first acquisition in 1950.

The vineyard, located at 33 to 38 meters above sea level, draws its identity from the nuances of soil and elevation of each parcel. Those parcels which are dominated by gravel tend to yield wines of great elegance, while those dominated by clay are distinctly velvety, dense, and structured.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChateau La Fleur-Petrus is composed predominantly of Merlot, which lends silkiness and generosity to the wine.

The soil of Ch?teau Trotanoy is a very dense mixture of clay and gravel which tends to solidify as it dries out after rain to an almost concrete-like hardness, hence the name 'Trotanoy,' or, in other words, 'too wearisome' to cultivate. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Trotanoy vineyard slopes gently to the west. The soil at the highest point of exposure contains a good proportion of gravel, becoming progressively more dominated by clay as the elevation declines. Under this clay is a subsoil of red gravel and an impermeable layer of hard, iron-rich soil known as crasse de fer. This fascinating soil diversity brings power, depth and complexity to the wine. Trotanoy is vinified in small concrete vats, while aging takes place in oak barrels. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrotanoy is a naturally profound, complex, richly-concentrated wine with outstanding aging potential.
