2016 Chateau Clinet Fleur de Clinet
France / Bordeaux / Pomerol Rouge
Fleur de Clinet, the second label of Château Clinet.A deep-coloured wine with a dark ruby hue. The nose is complex, displaying great finesse and layers of fresh red fruit, blackcurrant berries, Malabar pepper and violet. Gentle and well-balanced on the palate, it offers flavours of fresh dark fruit. The finish is intense, filled with spicy, sweet pastry notes. Elegant and refined, 2016 Fleur de Clinet is a pure expression of the exceptional clay terroir of Pomerol, and its ageold varietals.
The Wine Cellar Insider/Jeff Leve 91/100: "Floral in nature, you also find ripe, dark plums, licorice, cherries and herbs on the nose. Soft, silky, easy to to like and even easier to drink due to all those ripe, polished, elegant plums, dark chocolate, espresso, and smoked cherries in the finish. Drink this while waiting for the stunning Grand Vin to develop. This is a contender for the best value in Pomerol today!".
