Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2019 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the estate:
Dense, voluptuous, with silky tannins, Clinet is the archetype of a great Pomerol from the plateau, consistently ranking among the appellation’s finest. Ronan Laborde has high hopes for the replanting of part of the vineyard. It must be said that the deep, old gravel soils, mixed with clay and iron-rich silt, located at the summit of the Pomerol plateau, are what make Clinet’s 11.27 hectares so unique. Here, we are at the heart of the appellation’s finest terroirs.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2018 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
Founded in the 14th century, this 11.26-hectare estate was already known as a château by the 17th century. Located in the heart of the Pomerol high plateau, it features the clay-gravel terroir characteristic of the appellation. Its grape variety mix is 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 ultramodern underground cellar in 1999. Ronan Laborde has been at the helm since 2003.
