Clos du Clocher: An Exceptional Pomerol Claret

Clos du Clocher is a benchmark Pomerol claret from the Right Bank, expertly crafted by the Bourotte-Audy Family since 1924. Its prized vineyard sits on the appellation’s plateau, where the unique composition of gravel and iron-rich blue clay soil imparts a signature velvety texture and mineral freshness to the wine. This Merlot-dominant blend is known for its remarkable balance and cellaring potential.

Tasting Notes (Sommelier Profile)

• Colour: A deep, rich garnet with purple undertones.
• Nose: Intense and layered, revealing ripe black fruit (cassis, dark plum), subtle floral lift (violet), and sophisticated notes of cedar, chocolate, and crushed minerals.
• Palate: Generous and concentrated, with a luxurious, velvety mouthfeel. The tannins are beautifully integrated and polished, providing a firm yet elegant structure. The finish is long, complex, and driven by persistent freshness.

Serve this magnificent wine at cellar temperature (around 16°C) alongside classic British Sunday roasts or game. Decanting is highly recommended for at least an hour.

• Pairing: Beef Wellington, Traditional Roast Lamb with Garlic and Rosemary, Game Pie, Mature Cheddar or Blue Stilton.
