On the nose, Ronan by Clinet is greedy and highly aromatic, with aromas of strawberries, raspberries, a hint of chocolate and hints of rose. The palate is also delicately fruity, supported by supple tannins and enhanced by notes of garrigue and spices. All the pleasure of a Bordeaux wine!

Château Clinet
Bordeaux
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2019 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
Dense, voluptuous, with silky tannin, Clinet is the archetypal great plateau Pomerol, consistently at the top of the appellation. Ronan Laborde has high hopes for the replanting of part of the vineyard. It has to be said that the deep old gravel, mixed with clay and iron dross at the top of the Pomerol plateau, is what makes Clinet's 11.27 hectares so unique. This is the heart of the appellation's finest terroirs.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated domain (2018 guide) Awarded wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Founded in the 14th century, this 11.26-hectare cru already held the title of château in the 17th century. Situated in the heart of the Pomerol plateau, its clay-gravel terroir is typical of the appellation. Its grape varieties are less traditional: 12% Cabernet Sauvignon complements the traditional Merlot (85%) and Cabernet Franc. Owned by Georges Audy until 1985, then by GAN-Assurances until 1998, it now belongs to the Laborde family, who also own vineyards in Tokaj, and equipped it with a state-of-the-art underground winery in 1999. Ronan Laborde has been at the helm since 2003.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (2019 guide) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, because of their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the domain :
The Laborde family, who have owned the estate since 1999, produce a lovely, classic Pomerol, charming and always distinguished, with an emphasis on freshness. It has to be said that the cru boasts a superb terroir, in the heart of the Pomerol plateau, on clay-gravel soils that give the wine power and intensity. The château also boasts state-of-the-art vinification equipment.
