Clinet 2001 is a full-bodied Merlot-based red wine from the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux. In charge of the estate since 1985, the late Denis Durantou (1957-2020) was a hugely influential winemaker-proprietor whose wines, in terms of sheer quality, frequently rivalled those of the appellation`s most illustrious names. "The 2001 l’Eglise-Clinet is a wine that I have encountered many times both from bottle and magnum. It is a superb Pomerol with a crystalline bouquet that exudes pure red berry fruit laced with smoke and truffle, almost Burgundian in style with immense precision. The palate is medium-bodied with wonderful harmony and precision thanks to its filigree tannin. Such is the elegance on display here that it belies the power and length, ferrous notes, even a hint of curry leaf furnishing the finish. Superb." Neal Martin, 2019

Superripe aromas of roasted plum, black raspberry, game, beefsteak tomato and woodsmoke. Full, smoky, sweet and broad, with good mineral lift. Finishes ripely tannic and sweet, with very good breadth.
