Château Clinet is a red Bordeaux from Pomerol. This jeroboam from the 2010 vintage represents a blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. The fruit was harvested from the estate’s best clay-gravel plots and fermented in temperature-controlled wooden vats. Ageing occurred in 100% new French oak for 16 months, resulting in a wine of immense power and structural density. The 2010 season is famed for its high tannins and bright acidity, which provide the framework for the concentrated black fruit and chocolate notes. In this large format, the wine retains a youthful freshness and significant evolution potential.

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

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
