Depth and tension define the 2021 Château Clinet, with vivid red and black cherry, plum and a streak of cassis layered over cocoa, tobacco, mint and subtle spice. The palate is vibrant and medium to full-bodied, framed by firm yet polished tannins and bright acidity that carry the fruit in a long, refined finish with a touch of floral lift and discreet oak. This is a confident, modern Pomerol that shows both immediate charm and serious structure.

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.
