About Château Clinet 2017
Bottle (75cl)

Château Clinet is one of the most famous estates in the Pomerol appellation, or even in the world.

The Château Clinet vineyard covers an area of only 11 hectares and is made up of gravelly soils, deep clays and iron drosses. The grape varieties, typical of the appellation, are dominated by Merlot (85%) and complemented by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon (10% and 5% respectively).
The grapes are harvested manually at over-maturity before being vinified in oak vats and then matured in barrels (60% to 100% new depending on the needs of the vintage).

Château Clinet 2017 is dressed in a beautiful dark purple colour with ruby tints.
Shy on the first nose, it gradually opens up to aeration and reveals a rich and charming bouquet of small, ripe red and black fruits as well as floral notes, touches of wood and smoke and a subtle hint of minerality.
On the palate, Château Clinet 2017 offers a moderately full-bodied attack and a supple, round mid-palate. The aromas of red and black fruits are concentrated and supported by a straight and granular tannic line. The juicy fruits grow and evolve in the mouth, bringing incredible tension and powerful aroma to the blend before ending with a deliciously fruity and mineral finish.
