Lifted dark-berry and cherry fruit leads Clos du Clocher Pomerol 2021, edged with graphite, subtle toast and a cool, minty snap that gives the wine real energy. Medium-bodied but tightly knit, it shows bright, mouthwatering acidity and fine, dusty tannins that frame its clay-driven depth rather than smother it, finishing long, savory and just a touch firm for now. This is an elegant, slightly more restrained Pomerol with real character that should gain charm and texture with a few years in bottle.

Clos du Clocher is a small, church‑fronted Pomerol ‘clos’ from the plateau of Pomerol, planted mainly to Merlot with a significant Cabernet Franc component; its graves over blue clay give wines a concentrated, silken texture and reliable age‑worthiness. Noted for violet and black‑fruit perfume, truffle and chocolate undercurrents, and a plush yet energetic palate, it consistently sits among the commune’s most refined and long‑lived offerings.
