Chateau Clinet 2016, a stunning Pomerol from Bordeaux, France, is a highlight of the exceptional 2016 vintage, known for its balance and finesse. This Merlot-heavy blend, with Cabernet Sauvignon, is crafted from the estate’s clay and gravel soils, delivering a wine of intensity and elegance. The wine displays a deep ruby color with vibrant purple hues. The nose is expressive, with aromas of black cherry, blackberry, and cassis, layered with notes of thyme, black pepper, and graphite. Subtle oak spice adds depth. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with polished tannins and bright acidity supporting rich fruit flavors. The finish is long and refined, with lingering fruit and spice. Fermented in stainless steel and aged in French oak, this wine reflects Clinet’s commitment to quality. Ideal for pairing with roasted game, beef, or mature cheeses, it is approachable now but will evolve for 15-20 years. Chateau Clinet 2016 is a collector’s gem, showcasing Pomerol’s finest qualities.
