Château CLINET
Red

One of the appellation's ripest and most hedonistic crus until 2000, Clinet has since gained in distinction and refinement through successive touches (15% Cabernet in the vines, state-of-the-art technical equipment...). All this without losing the aromatic intensity and depth of flesh that are its hallmarks. Today, Clinet is unquestionably one of Pomerol's finest wines.

The 2022 vintage in the press:

J.M Quarin (February 2025): 96/100 “Dark, intense, slightly evolved color. Very aromatic nose, with ripe, subtle fruit. Black fruit base mixed with fresh fruit (raspberry). More floral when the glass is shaken. Full-bodied on the attack, fleshy in the mid-palate, the wine melts on the palate towards a tasty vanilla finish. Irresistible. The best ever made with the 2018.”

Vinous (N. Martin - January 2025): 95/100 “The 2022 Clinet is a little more immediate than its showing from barrel when it needed more time to open. This offers well-defined and focused scents of black cherry, potpourri, oyster shell and tobacco. The palate is well balanced with a slightly savory opening thanks to the Cabernet components, with touches of graphite filtering through the dark chocolate-tinged dark berry fruit laced with a hint of mocha. This has fine length and is certainly fresh. it may need just three of four years in bottle and then will drink well for many more.”
