The Second Wine of Château Clinet: Right Bank Sophistication

Fleur de Clinet is the superb second label from the esteemed Château Clinet, one of the most respected producers in Pomerol. This wine is a brilliant showcase of the estate's terroir, offering a taste of the Grand Vin's finesse and elegance but with a profile that's ready to enjoy sooner. It's an impeccable example of a high-quality, Merlot-dominant Bordeaux.

Sommelier's Tasting Profile

• Appearance: A deep, alluring ruby-purple hue.
• Bouquet: Inviting aromas of concentrated black cherry, ripe plum, and liquorice, intertwined with subtle notes of cedar, toasted spice, and a hint of crushed earth.
• Taste: Full-bodied yet silky, with a core of rich, dark fruit. The tannins are beautifully integrated and polished, providing a luxurious texture and structure. Expect a long, complex finish with nuances of espresso and fine chocolate.

Food Pairing & Serving Advice

This is a quintessential food wine. Serve between 16°C and 18°C. Decanting for an hour will enhance the subtle tertiary notes in the bouquet. It is an ideal accompaniment to classic British roasts and game.

• Recommended Pairings: Herb-Crusted Roast Leg of Lamb, Beef Wellington, Pan-Seared Duck Breast.
