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.
With its deep, brilliant garnet-red color, this vintage of Pomerol combines concentration, aromatic power and freshness. In the glass, it impresses with a deep, complex nose dominated by black fruits, accompanied by floral and spicy touches. A hint of menthol in the background adds freshness. On the palate, the wine is dense and straightforward. The full-bodied attack quickly gives way to a finely chiselled tannic structure that underlines a rich aromatic palette. The finish is salivating and long.
