Clos du Clocher – Pomerol – Red – 2022:

 

Clos du Clocher: The Age-Worthy Gem of Pomerol

Clos du Clocher represents the historical and refined heart of the Pomerol appellation. Owned by the Bourotte-Audy Family since 1924, this estate is situated on the prestigious plateau, benefiting from a unique terroir of deep gravel and iron-rich blue clay. This Grand Vin is a masterful blend of Merlot and old-vine Cabernet Franc, consistently delivering a wine that is both powerful and elegantly structured.

Tasting Notes (Sommelier Profile)

• Color: Deep, intense garnet-purple.
• Nose: Complex and highly expressive, featuring a core of ripe dark fruits (blackcurrant, plum) layered with elegant floral notes (violet, lilac), and tertiary hints of mocha, licorice, and graphite.
• Palate: Full-bodied and concentrated, yet impeccably balanced. The texture is velvety and plush, framed by ultra-fine, persistent tannins. A signature mineral freshness carries through to a long, sophisticated finish.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

This is a serious, age-worthy wine that demands rich, savory dishes. Decant for at least one hour for younger vintages and serve at 60°F (16°C).

• Pairing: Prime Rib Roast with Truffle Butter, Seared Foie Gras, Lamb Chops with Rosemary Reduction, Wild Mushroom Risotto.
