"Clos René 2021 is a gorgeous, old-fashioned wine with layered notes of black fruit, leather, smoke, licorice and spice. Rustic in the best sense of the word, it's beautifully crafted. This is a classic Pomerol in every respect. There's an authenticity here that I find utterly seductive".

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2022 guide) 90-91/100
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Jean-Marie Garde, president of the Pomerol wine syndicate, also owns Clos René. This estate is located on a 12-hectare sandy-clay terroir, with iron dross in the subsoil. Discreet and elegant, it always proves its worth with age, as the 30% Cabernet Franc and 10% Malbec assert themselves and add complexity over the years. Seemingly puny in its youth, clos-rené evolves with distinction and its tannin becomes slender and refined. A bargain for lovers of fine wines. Cellar for at least ten years.

About the domain :
Jean-Marie Garde farms two neighbouring Pomerol crus, with similar terroir and grape varieties (and an original presence of Malbec): Clos René, an old family estate known in the 18th century as "Reney", and Moulinet-Lasserre, complemented by a Lalande vineyard (La Mission).

About the wine:
Notes of currants, dried herbs, paprika and olives. The black fruits have a fresh, savory quality. Medium-bodied, elegant and linear on the palate. Try it after 2024.

About the wine:
With a complex perfume of red and black fruits, leather, leafy herbs and smoky tobacco, Clos René 2021 is medium-bodied and rich, with a round, generous texture on the palate, fine tannins and remarkable balance. It's in keeping with the fresher style of the vintage, yet with tremendous depth of fruit. Let it age for 2-4 years and enjoy it over the next decade. 2026-2038
Terre de Vins
Wine rated (2022 guide) 91-92/100
About the wine:
A lovely, fragrant, slightly heady bouquet of candied cherry, underlined by an elegant toastiness. A certain concentration is expected, and this is found on the palate, with a supple body, a lovely acid edge, melted tannins and well-integrated ageing that will become more discreet with age. A harmonious classic.

About the wine:
Dark purple color with violet highlights and black core. Elegant nose with light floral notes added to fine, fragrant berries. Well-structured palate with firm but ripe tannins, juicy fruit and discreet floral notes on the finish.
