00: Fassprobe (18/20): Pflaumiges, fettes Bouquet; Malaga-Rosinen, eingelegte Pflümli, gekochtes Cassis und dunkle Edelschokolade. Im Gaumen fett, üppig mit leicht trockenen, aber festen Tanninen ausgestattet, extrem satte, reifeverlangende Adstringenz, Feigen, Pralinen und eine hohe Fruchtreife im Finale. Wenn er die sanft trockenen Tannine verkraftet, wird aus diesem Wein ein Pomerol-Paukenschlag mit einer Rubens-Opulenz. Und wenn er dieses Ziel wirklich erreicht, dann kann er noch zulegen und damit nahe zu den legendären Clinet 1989, 1995 und 1998 aufschliessen. 03: Mittlere Farbe mit feinem Reifeschimmer aussen. Sehr gefälliges Bouquet mit herrlich duftendem Kokos- Pralinenduft und reifen Pflaumen. Im Gaumen rotes Cassis, saftige Gerbstoffe, cremig, verführerisch süsses Merlot-Finale. Gleicht stark dem La Conseillante, wirkt aber um Nuancen dichter.
Producer
Château Clinet
Château Clinet continues to soar to the top of the prestigious Pomerol estates, making one of the most sought-after wines coming from this region today. The first traces of viticulture on this fine gravelly clay soil dates back to the 17th century, however, after centuries of successive owners, the Laborde family has now owned Château Clinet for almost two decades. Jean-Louis Laborde bought the property in 1998, today, his young and motivated son, Ronan runs the château. Upon the best parcels of the gravel terraces in Gunz, the 11-hectare vineyard produces the best Merlot in the world. Famous cult-wine oenologist, Michel Rolland has provided consultancy input for over 10 years, producing high-standard Grand Cru wines vintage after vintage. Ronan even established innovative eco-friendly farming and vinification methods to further show respect for his terroir. Bottled with neither fining nor filtration, their wines are first matured in 100% new oak for over five years. The château continues to craft five-star wines, the Grand Vin, Clinet is an impressive ripe and full-bodied red. While Ronan by Clinet is an excellent example of Ronan’s entrepreneurship. Ronan by Clinet was made to present an approachable wine that can have a wide appeal, as well as the ability to carry the quality guarantee of a Château Clinet wine.
