  • What the experts say...

    "Le 1998 se distingue par un pourpre dense et épais. Très fermé au nez, il révèle cependant, au mouvement du verre, des notes de terre humide, de chêne neuf épicé, de truffe, de mûre et de prune. Dense avec les tannins rugueux, très puissant aussi, il exprime en bouche un caractère rôti et chocolaté. (...)" Source : R. Parker (03/02)

    The wine

    Château Clinet has a dark colour and a ripe, fruity, slightly woody bouquet. Medium-bodied, it is solid, powerful and seductive. Delightful in its youth, it also has an impressive capacity to improve with age.

    Information about domain Château Clinet

    Château Clinet has joined the ranks of the great Pomerols. In order to ensure that the grapes are perfectly ripe, Clinet carries out meticulous manual harvests. The same level of care is applied to the vinification, which is followed by ageing for 24 months in new barrels, enabling the wine to become intense, rich and concentrated.
