2010 Clos du Clocher

The 2010 exhibits plenty of blueberry and mocha-infused black cherry fruit with a hint of candied caramel. It is well-made, medium to full-bodied, with outstanding purity, texture and richness. It is not a blockbuster Pomerol, by any means, but one of mid-weight style and undeniable elegance. The sweetness of the tannin should ensure that it can be drunk now or cellared for 12-15 years.||This wine always has more potential than what usually shows up in the bottle, but the Bourotte family seems to be making improvements to this small estate of approximately 15 acres planted with 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc.
