Chateau Clinet 2017

Introducing the Chateau Clinet 2017, a distinguished expression of Pomerol's unique terroir, crafted in a vintage that tested the resilience and skill of Bordeaux's vintners. Despite the challenges posed by the 2017 growing season, which included frost and variable weather, Chateau Clinet emerged with a wine that beautifully showcases the character and potential of the region.

Chateau Clinet is renowned for its deep, richly flavored wines, and the 2017 vintage continues this tradition. Predominantly made from Merlot, which thrives in the clay soils of Pomerol, this wine is enhanced with a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon, adding structure and longevity to the blend. The result is a wine that balances intensity with elegance.

The wine presents a deep ruby color, hinting at its concentrated profile. On the nose, it exudes aromas of ripe blackberries and plums, complemented by touches of spice and an earthy undercurrent that is typical of Pomerol. These elements are elegantly tied together with subtle oak influences, providing hints of vanilla and toast.

On the palate, Chateau Clinet 2017 offers a rich, full-bodied experience. The flavors of dark fruit are prominent, supported by velvety tannins and a well-integrated acidity that leads to a long, persistent finish. Notes of chocolate and a slight herbal quality add complexity to the tasting experience.

Perfect for cellaring, this wine will continue to evolve and mature, revealing greater depths over the years. It pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes such as lamb, beef, and game, or with a selection of robust cheeses. The Chateau Clinet 2017 stands as a testament to the skill of its makers and the enduring allure of the Pomerol appellation, making it a valuable addition to any wine enthusiast's collection.
