TASTING NOTES

Fleur de Clinet 2013 displays a bright ruby colour. The nose opens with scents of forest fruits, blackberries, liquorice and bergamot. On the palate, the fruit remains fresh and vibrant. Notes of oriental spices, plum, and brown sugar bring intensity to the finish. Framed by fine and soft tannins, Fleur de Clinet 2013 is a perfect wine to enjoy within the next 10 years.

PHILOSOPHY

Fleur de Clinet was created in 2006, artfully blending the three different types of terroir that characterize Pomerol. Clinet works with a selection of winegrowers to compose this original wine, including Chateau Clinet. The vinification and ageing are carried out by the same team and with as much attention as for the Grand Vin. Ageing in second-fill barrels brings out the freshness and finesse of the aromas.
