Château Clinet Pomerol 2021 is an elegant and beautifully crafted expression of one of Pomerol's most respected estates, showcasing the finesse and complexity of Right Bank Bordeaux. Produced from a blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, this vintage combines the richness of Merlot with the structure and aromatic precision of Cabernet Sauvignon. Despite the cooler conditions of 2021, meticulous vineyard management and careful harvesting have resulted in a wine of remarkable freshness, balance and refinement.

At 75% Merlot and fully 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2021 Clinet contains the highest proportion of Cabernet in the blend (excepting the 2003) since at least the 1980s. Ronan Laborde harvested late, picking into mid-October, to craft a medium to full-bodied, deep and impressively seamless wine evocative of dark berries, baking chocolate, violets and spices. Concentrated and nicely integrated, it is one of the vintage's notable successes.

Firm, lightly chewy yet creamy tannins. Savory bark and herb notes. Cloves and licorice, too. Medium body with a polished, lengthy and firm finish. Compact.
