Présentation +

Château Clinet

The Château Clinet is located on the summit of the Pomerol plateau, cradle of all the prestigious crus of this Terroir.

The name "Clinet" is spelled "Cliné" on Belleyme's map dating from 1785. The name may come from the Old French "Cliner" meaning gentle slope, on which this vineyard is planted from the famous plateau of Pomerol.

The vineyard extends over 8.5 hectares of deep old gravel with a subsoil rich in iron dross. The vineyard, which has an average age of 40 years, is planted with Merlot noir for 85%, Cabernet Sauvignon 10% and Cabernet franc 5%.

The grapes are hand-picked and sorted in the winery, and the wine is aged in 80% new oak barrels for 16 to 22 months.

Description Château Clinet 1998.

Now at a splendid stage of maturity, this vintage reveals the full expression of its terroir. With its deep ruby-red color and tile-red highlights, a sign of its evolution, Clinet 1998 offers us a nose with a complex bouquet. Hints of candied fruit, plum jam, leather and truffle combine. Woody notes complete the picture, adding depth. On the palate, a supple, elegant attack is followed by a full body with perfectly blended tannins. The long-lasting finish develops gourmet aromas.
