Tasting notes
Until the advent of the 1989, this was my favorite vintage of Clos du Clocher. The wine has reached full maturity, yet should continue to drink well until 1997. Dark ruby/garnet, with only slight amber at the edge, this extroverted wine offers up a bouquet filled with scents of roasted chestnuts, ripe plums, and licorice. In the mouth, the wine is opulent, generously endowed, with low acidity, and a lush, heady finish. It makes for a seductive tasting experience. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 11/90.

About the producer

Clos du Clocher is a Pomerol estate owned by the Bourotte family of the négociant Jean-Baptiste Audy. In the heart of the famous Pomerol plateau, under the shadow of the eponymous church bell tower, this 5.9-hectare estate is home to some truly ancient vines that produce tremendous wine.
