Founded in 1924, Clos du Clocher is located in the prestigious appellation of Pomerol. It covers 5 hectares of Merlot and Cabernet Franc vines, planted in iron-rich clay soils. The château`s wine is a Merlot-dominant blend, which is barrel-matured for 18 months before bottling. The 2018 vintage has a very perfumed nose, including dark berries, vanilla, liquorice and hints of chocolate. On the palate, the wine is medium to full body, revealing bright fruit, polished tannins and a touch of mint on the finish.

The 2018 Clos du Clocher has a very pure and seductive bouquet of that blackberry and raspberry fruit that I picked out from barrel, but now with more floral elements: iris and touches of violet. The oak here is nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with layers of blackberry and bilberry. This has a fine spine that lends it focus. Not overly powerful, but the salinity washes over the finish and urges you back for another sip. Jean-Baptiste Bourotte has overseen an excellent Pomerol meriting 2–5 years in the cellar.
