Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2019 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
Dense, voluptuous, with silky tannins, Clinet is the archetype of the great Pomerol plateau wine, consistently among the best in the appellation. Ronan Laborde has high hopes for the replanting of part of the vineyard. It must be said that the deep, old gravel mixed with clay and iron oxide at the top of the Pomerol plateau is what makes Clinet's 11.27 hectares so unique. This is the heart of the appellation's finest terroirs.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2018 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the estate:
Founded in the 14th century, this 11.26-hectare vineyard already bore the title of château in the 17th century. Located in the heart of the Pomerol plateau, it has a clay-gravel terroir characteristic of the appellation. Its grape varieties are less traditional: 12% Cabernet Sauvignon complements the traditional Merlot (85%) and Cabernet Franc. Owned by Georges Audy until 1985, then by GAN-Assurances until 1998, it now belongs to the Laborde family, who also own vineyards in Tokaj, and who equipped it with an ultra-modern underground cellar in 1999. Ronan Laborde has been at the helm since 2003.

About the estate:
The Laborde family, owners of the estate since 1999, produce a very attractive, classic Pomerol that is charming and always elegant, with an emphasis on freshness.

Note and opinion by Mr. MICHEL V. Published on 12/10/2018
Not overly opulent on the nose, with fruit notes. The palate is superbly balanced, with the same aromas, but a slightly short finish. Very pleasant.
