Description

Following the success of their wonderfully easy-drinking 100 percent Merlot cuvée, Ch. Clinet has now released its rather more discerning sibling – Pur’ Cab. As the name suggests this is made from a blend of the two Cabernets (Sauvignon and Franc), all sourced from the Right Bank, near Clinet’s home in Pomerol. The resulting wine is rich and dark with generous blackcurrant fruit, abundant fine tannins and a classic pencil lead and herbal finish. An homage to Clinet’s presence in the Right Bank, this should please most Cabernet fans looking for an everyday option. If drunk young, it may benefit from a short decant and it should suit most classic beef or lamb dishes.

About this WINE

Château Clinet

Château Clinet

Château Clinet is a wine estate in Pomerol on the Right Bank of Bordeaux. It is owned and run by Ronan Laborde and his partner, Monique Bailly. Ronan took the helm here in 2004.

The estate’s 11 hectares of vines sit atop the famed Pomerol plateau. The vineyard is planted to a majority of Merlot (75%), which Ronan feels is highly suited to the plateau’s iron-rich clay soils. There is also 25% Cabernet Sauvignon. Though rare in Pomerol, Cabernet Sauvignon has long been an important aspect of Clinet’s character; it once made up 50% of the vineyard here, Ronan reports.

Clinet came to the attention of many collectors when its 1989 vintage received a 100-point score from the critic Robert Parker; it has remained one of Bordeaux’s most sought-after names ever since. Another perfect Parker score followed for the 2009 vintage.
