Ripe, dark berries and plums roll through Chateau Clinet 2017, edged by cocoa, gentle spice and a stony, earthy undertone that keeps the richness in check. Medium to full in body with a firm, tightly knit structure, it feels poised and focused rather than showy, finishing long on vibrant fruit and cool, refined tannin. This is a serious, classical Pomerol expression from a challenging year, built more on precision than opulence.

Château Clinet is the estate’s flagship Pomerol grand vin, a Merlot-dominant blend (typically around 75–85% Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon) from old vines on the highest part of the Pomerol plateau, rooted in clay- and gravel-rich soils that give both power and finesse. Known for its deep color, opulent black and red fruit, floral and cocoa notes, and polished but structured tannins, it is a concentrated, ageworthy Right Bank Bordeaux that ranks among the top wines of the appellation.
