In 2022, Château Clinet shows a poised, almost Médoc-like profile, with dark cassis and blackcurrant fruit edged by graphite, cedar and cool spice over a refined, velvety frame. The palate is sleek yet layered, combining juicy acidity and powdery tannins with notes of tobacco, subtle vanilla and crushed stone, giving an impression of power held firmly in check. This is a sophisticated, energetic Clinet that leans more toward precision and freshness than sheer opulence, and it should blossom beautifully with a bit of cellaring.

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.
