Fleur de Clinet – Pomerol – Red – 2020:

 

Fleur de Clinet: The Accessible Elegance of Pomerol

Fleur de Clinet is the exquisite second wine from the celebrated Château Clinet, a true benchmark of the Pomerol appellation. Crafted with the same dedication and meticulous attention as the Grand Vin, this cuvée offers an earlier-drinking expression of the estate’s luxurious style, making it a perfect introduction to the finesse of Bordeaux’s Right Bank.

Expert Tasting Notes

• Color: Deep ruby red with subtle purple reflections.
• Nose: An enchanting bouquet of ripe dark fruits (blackberry, plum, cassis) complemented by floral hints of violet, cedar, and a delicate layer of mocha and vanilla from oak aging.
• Palate: The mouthfeel is plush and velvety, a testament to the dominant Merlot. Layers of lush dark fruit unfold, framed by smooth, polished tannins that provide structure without sacrificing approachability. The finish is long, echoing notes of dark chocolate and savory spice.

Pairing & Service Recommendations

This Pomerol is built for fine dining. Serve it at a cool cellar temperature (60-64°F or 15.5-18°C). We recommend a 60-minute decant for younger vintages to allow the aromas to fully express themselves.

• Suggested Pairings: Grilled Ribeye Steak with Cowboy Butter, Truffle-Infused Mushroom Risotto, Classic Coq au Vin.
