Château Clos René – Pomerol – Red – 1989:

 

The Quiet Excellence of Château Clos René, Pomerol

A historic estate on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, Château Clos René is a classic Pomerol renowned for its remarkable consistency and refined style. This family-owned property masters the art of the blend, featuring the opulence of Merlot, the structure of Cabernet Franc, and a unique, spicy touch from its significant Malbec plantings.

Tasting Notes: Power Meets Polish

Clos René delivers a powerful yet incredibly harmonious wine experience, embodying a textbook Pomerol that favors elegance and purity over overt oak influence. It is a must-have for any serious collector or enthusiast of fine Bordeaux.

• Color: Deep, intense ruby red.
• Nose: A complex and seductive bouquet of ripe red and black fruits (raspberry, cherry, blackberry), layered with notes of mocha, licorice, and hints of savory truffle as it ages.
• Palate: The attack is lush and velvety. The mid-palate is rich and full-bodied, framed by firm, yet beautifully polished tannins. The finish is long, juicy, and elegant, showcasing a perfect balance of power and freshness.

Serving & Pairing Suggestions

Serve Clos René slightly below room temperature (around 60°F / 15.5°C). Decanting for one hour is recommended for younger vintages to allow the wine to soften and its complex aromas to unfold.
