Château Clinet is a prestigious wine estate situated within the Pomerol appellation. The property has a long history dating back to the 16th century and is currently managed by Ronan Laborde and Monique Bailly. The wines of Château Clinet are predominantly made from Merlot, with smaller percentages of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. This is their Grand Vin from the 2009 vintage, a standout year for Bordeaux. Characterized by hot, dry weather and cool nights, it provided the ideal conditions for excellent aromatic development.
96 Robert Parker
Deep garnet colored, the 2009 Clinet is showing quite a lot of evolution on the nose with notes of new leather, fried spices and dried herbs over a core of dried mulberries and prunes with a touch of redcurrant jelly. Full-bodied and decadently fruited with loads of mature, savory layers, it has a chewy texture and finishes on a dried herbs note. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown
96 Jane Anson
This is a big muscular 2009 but it is great quality, hard to argue with, full of deliciously textured and plump black cherry fruits, sculpted, powerful, intense, black chocolate, charcoal, creme caramel and fennel spice. A one point upgrade from last year's tasting, as it stands out among its peers. 60% new oak. Ronan Laborde owner.Jane Anson10th October 2024
95 Vinous
The 2009 Clinet has an impressive and complex bouquet with liquorice and truffle infused black fruit, hints of desiccated orange peel and even a dab of honey. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe, succulent, and fine tannins (although not as fine as the 2009 La Conseillante) with a dense, precocious and heady finish. There is hedonism here, but it is on a tight leash. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting. Neal Martin1st March 2019
