Tasting notes
The finest Clos du Clocher ever made, the 2009 has an inky bluish/purple color and a big, sweet kiss of black raspberry liqueur intermixed with blackberries, subtle smoke and spring flowers along with hints of mocha and coffee. It is full-bodied, rich and pure, with sweet tannin and low acidity. Interestingly enough, the proprietor always brags that he doesn’t want to make great wine because it would fetch a higher price and he would have to pay more taxes, but he certainly has done that in 2009. Drink it over the next 10-15 years. Wine Advocate.February, 2012

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.
