Chateau Clinet - Pomerol (750mL)
Overview: Modest but sure of its presence, Clinet lies at one of the highest points upon the renowned plateau at the heart of Pomerol - instantly recognisable by its red shutters and beautiful roses. It is home to one of the oldest vineyards in the appellation, with traces of the vineyard's existence dating back to 1595. This vineyard is equally famed for offering wine with an incomparable character and quality. 11 hectares • 88% Merlot • 12% Cabernet Sauvignon • Average age of vines 42 years. Clinet is not just a wine but a family - a family that represents not only those right at its core but equally every person that lends their hand to making our dreams a reality. The loyalty that unites us all is heart-warming, motivating, and everlasting.
Tasting Notes: Beautiful blue fruit and earth with hints of black truffle, this has a violet and fragrant edge, too. Really complex, youthful impression here. The palate has mouthwatering fruit flavor and terrific sense of fresh energy and cut on the finish. A blend of 90 per cent merlot and ten per cent cabernet sauvignon.
Pairing: Skillet Garlic Butter Herb Steak, Roast Duck
