Tasting notes
The most approachable wine tasted, Clinet shows more fruit than its neighbours, with a lasting sweet spice that proffers cassis and blueberry richness, and an open-knit, sumptuous and fulfilling structure.

OMG. This is really dense and rich with velvety tannins and so much fruit and length. Super concentration and structure. Greatest Clinet ever. No jam. Just class. Mar 2016, JamesSuckling.com
The fleshy plum, blackberry and boysenberry fruit flavors sail along, gilded with a hint of anise and backed by velvety tannins. Shows serious length already and latent depth. A hedonistic wine in the making. Mar 2016, James Molesworth, www.WineSpectator.com
Picked comparatively early, this is correspondingly fresh and well balanced with floral, violet-scented aromas, lots of plush bramble, plum and blackberry fruit, nuanced tannins and a fresh, minerally finish. Classy stuff from a château in an impressive run of form. Apr 2016, www.timatkin.com, Drink: 2022-2032
About the producer

With Ronan Laborde at the helm, this property has become one of Pomerol’s most sought-after. He has increased the proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, which historically represented half the vineyard area here.
