  • What the experts say...

    (...) Légèrement corsé et plutôt massif en bouche, [ce vin] d'un rubis moyennement foncé, avec un nez aux doux arômes de fruits rouges (...) rappelle celui d'un Zinfandel. [Il] affiche une concentration et une pureté de bon aloi, mais n'est pas bien doté. Source : Robert Parker (11/97)

    The wine

    Developing aromas of black fruit and spices, this is a particularly seductive wine that needs a few years to reach its full potential.

    Information about domain Clos René

    The Clos René, located in the Pomerol appellation, has belonged to the Garde family for more than a century. Jean-Marie Garde currently runs this 18-hectare vineyard planted with 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Malbec. The domain is largely under-valued, considering the quality and regularity of its cuvées. The wines of Clos René are well made, in a classical and elegant style and with a wonderful aging ability, while being reasonable priced.
