Clos du Clocher 2010 is a red wine from the Pomerol appellation on the Right Bank of Bordeaux. The 2010 vintage in Bordeaux is legendary for its structural power and concentration, providing this Merlot-dominant blend with an immense potential for ageing. It offers a rich profile of black plums, truffles, chocolate and exotic spices, supported by a firm tannic backbone. The estate’s location on the Pomerol plateau ensures a wine of great aromatic intensity and textural depth. Now beginning to reach its peak, this bottling represents a classical and powerful expression of the appellation’s finest gravel and clay soils.

The richness of the texture is clear visually, and it delivers fully on the palate. There is more tannic weight than in the 2009, but the power and concentration are measured, and balanced by fresh acidity. Layers of griotte cherry, liquorice, olive tapenade, violets and graphite, great quality. 45hl/h yield, 65% new oak for ageing. Late budding, late flowering year, not easy fruit set for the Merlot, before the weather turned to a beautiful summer and a long slow harvest. Cécile Dupuis technical director. Jean-Baptiste Bourotte owner. This is the original tasting note from earlier in the summer, but it was tasted again at this larger retrospective of the 2009 and 2010 vintages, and once again clear that this is more intense than the 2009, needs longer before drinking, but is excellent quality.Jane Anson10th October 2024

Bit of green on the nose. Sweet start but loose and without real inspiration. Very drying finish. (JR)
