While Clinet can trace its origins back to the late 18th century, the winery more recently shot to fame following the involvement of cult oenologist Michel Rolland. Moving from classically-styled Bordeaux to a richer, riper style, the wine began to be compared with more famous Pomerol estates such as Le Pin, Lafleur & even Petrus. The wine is Merlot-dominant & produces only a small quantity of wine from it`s 9-hectares of vines.

Vinous
Dark red, but more brown than ruby. Roasted, wild aromas of game, truffle and stewed tomato. Slightly sauvage flavors of gamey red fruits, coffee, cedar and spices; sweet and superripe but with adequate supporting acidity. More pliant than it appeared to be a year ago from barrel. Surprisingly subtle on the firm back end, yet the notes of cedar and coffee seem rather evolved. Perhaps best suited for drinking over the next ten years.Stephen Tanzer1st May 2003
