2018 By Clinet Pomerol

Genesis Each of us at Clinet aspire to offer the best from the terroirs of Pomerol, with passion and know-how. BY CLINET, Pomerol was created to artfully blend the three different types of terroir that characterize the appellation. Clinet works with a selection of wine-growers to compose this original wine. The vinification and ageing are carried out by the same team and with as much attention as for the “Grand Vin”. Ageing in second-fill barrels brings out the freshness and finesse of the aromas. About the label Gordon Hopkins is an American artist. His work finds its strength in his unique technique, setting layers of bold colours with oil bars and paint. Gordon’s work brings with it a sense of exploration, an interpretation of our surroundings from his point of view, filed with colour, movement and a sense of joy. Gordon Hopkins came to Clinet during summer 2017 and after a friendly lunch, he strolled through the vineyard of Pomerol. The small estates, crossed by country lanes and the gaiety of the summery scenery brought the inspiration to create this joyful patchwork. 2018 Vintage A vintage with very favourable weather conditions, marked by heavy rainfall at the start of the growing season, and a dry summer. Overall conditions were hot and dry, but the nights were surprisingly cool, shaping the Merlot wines deep and concentrated, while maintaining freshness and fruitiness. Tasting Note « By Clinet Pomerol 2018 is a brilliant ruby red colour. Scents of blueberry tart, cherry, blackcurrant and cornflower mingle on the nose. The tannins lend a silky texture to the wine, which is soft and bursting with fruit on the palate. Warm and pleasant, refined and lingering, this vintage is the perfect companion for meals with family and friends. »
