This is brimming with raspberry and boysenberry compote flavors, while mouthwatering anise and pain d'épices notes fill in the background. Reveals a flash of ganache, a streak of tar and an echo of bramble through the finish, adding range while the gorgeous fruit holds center stage.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Clinet opens slowly to reveal vibrant red and black fruits: red currants, black cherries, plums and cassis with touches of roses, yeast extract, wood smoke and crushed rocks. Medium-bodied with firm, grainy tannins and a taut, muscular palate of tightly wound fruits and compelling mineral accents, it finishes long with wonderful purity and fragrant earth accents.

A fresh and fruity Clinet with tangy acidity highlighting the plum and cherry character. Reserved style. Medium body, creamy tannins and a delicious finish. Linear and focused in general.
【Vinous 93 pts】
Tightly wound, brambly black fruit with traces of pressed violet and iodine, gradually open with orange rind notes. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins. This is classic in style, firm grip and a little rigid in its youth, although it will flesh out with bottle age. I admire both the freshness and salinity in this Clinet, especially its linearity on the finish. Excellent.

its deep purple hue is followed by classic Clinet dark, chocolatey fruit and tobacco notes. This gives way to a medium to full-bodied Pomerol that has firm tannins, solid mid-palate density, and outstanding length.
Chateau Clinet is located in the heart of Pomerol. It was already a very famous local winery in the 19th century; it has become the most prestigious star winery in the Pomerol region after Petrus and Lepin. Robert Parker gave Chateau Clinet a perfect score of 100 twice, in 1989 and 2009! The winery Chateau Client appeared on the map in 1785, and in 1830 it was jointly owned by the Arnaud family with Pomerol wine king Petrus. After changing owners several times, it was purchased by the Laborde family in 1998. The current owner is young Ronan Laborde. He took over as the manager of the winery at the age of only 23, causing a stir in the conservative wine world at the time. But he will soon turn in very impressive results. In the early stage, we also cooperated with the famous winemaker Michel Rolland, so that Client’s Merlot has exquisite craftsmanship. By 2012, he acquired some vineyards in the Pomerol region and expanded the area of Chateau Client vineyards. Later, the winery’s wines produced more and more good results, and the prices also increased accordingly.
