Chateau Clinet

Clinet 2017

Clinet

Case Format: 12x75cl

Max score: 95.0

Modest in size, Château Clinet has still managed to shoot to prominence, establishing itself as one of the most famous wine producers in the Pomerol appellation. During the 1980s, the esteemed oenologist Michel Rolland was enlisted to help reinvent the vineyard’s operations. By introducing a much later harvest to guarantee super-ripe fruit, as well as elongating the time spent in the oak barriques, it only a took a matter of years before Clinet was being compared to the big guns Pétrus, Lafleur and Le Pin. The result? A concentrated, bountiful wine with seemingly infinite length. Whilst very drinkable when young, it’s best enjoyed over a ten-year period. A standard Château Clinet blend comprises Merlot (c.88%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (c.12%).

Jane Anson

Rose petals and raspberry leaf on the nose, this is delicate and charming, smoky edges, soft appealing raspberry and red cherry, plenty of caressing fine tannins. Real charm, and so deft in its construction, great winemaking here. This has deepened over the past few years in bottle, although remains an early drinking Clinet to enjoy within the next 10 to 15 years. 72% new oak, 35hl/h yield, Ronan Laborde owner.

Composed of 92% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2017 Clinet is deep garnet-purple colored. It gives up plum preserves, baked black cherries, and fruitcake with touches of new leather, cigar box, and fallen leaves. Medium-bodied, it is lively and refreshing with a firm, chewy texture and a savory finish.
