Château Clinet 2019

The fruity charm of a powerful and intense Pomerol red wine

The property
Located in the heart of the Pomerol appellation, the Château Clinet and its famous gravel plots, is one of the most beautiful references of the Pomerol appellation.

The vineyard
Château Clinet has an exceptional 10-hectare vineyard in Pomerol, resting on a clay-gravel terroir.

The vintage
After a relatively mild winter, the spring turned out to be cool. The month of June started timidly with a certain freshness that was offset by summer heat. The generous summer allowed for a beautiful ripening of the vines, which were revitalized in September by some rain and cool nights, thus delivering perfectly mature and well-balanced berries.
