TheWineCellarInsider.com, November 2021

Still young, this is evolving at a glacial pace, yet there is no denying the greatness in this bottle. Deep in color, the wine pops with notes of licorice, black plum liqueur, dark cherries, chocolate, espresso, truffle...

View From The Cellar, August 2013

Espresso bean, flowers, orange rind, truffle, spice, boysenberry, blue fruit and cocoa aromas open the wine. Thick, rich, lush, powerful and mouth filling, the wine coats your palate with sensuous layers of perfectly...

Decanter, October 2020

A big-shouldered, powerful and classic Pomerol. Inky black in colour even at 11 years old, this is concentrated yet juicy and built for pleasure, filled with dense black cherries, fleshy raspberries, liquorice and shaved...

Aromas of dark fruits hazelnut and dark chocolate follow through to a full body with velvety tannins that are polished and refined. Beautiful depth of fruit to this. Best in 2018.

This is a big muscular 2009 but it is great quality, hard to argue with, full of deliciously textured and plump black cherry fruits, sculpted, powerful, intense, black chocolate, charcoal, creme caramel and fennel spice...

Neal Martin's Wine Journal, November 2013

The Clinet ’09 is a massive wine but on this occasion it is curiously reticent at first and demands coaxing. Perhaps this is on the cusp of closing down. The palate is full-bodied and dense, loaded with glycerin but still...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, March 2019

Deep garnet colored, the 2009 Clinet is showing quite a lot of evolution on the nose with notes of new leather, fried spices and dried herbs over a core of dried mulberries and prunes with a touch of redcurrant jelly...

, January 2012

87% merlot 10% cabernet sauvignon and 3% cabernet franc aged for 18 months in barrel. A lovely lively ruby color. Brown sweet spice aromas of molasses brown sugar and Kentucky bourbon seduce the nose. Candied black...

Wine Spectator, March 2012

Very lush and exotic boasting plum sauce crushed fig warm raspberry confiture and steeped black currant fruit all dripping over a racy but buried graphite spine. The long dark finish has plenty of stuffing for the long...

Wine Enthusiast, February 2012

A smooth superripe wine full of the sweetest fruit big and rich. It is opulent a powerhouse of dense Merlot fruits rounded out with soft tannins. R.V.

The vinification process for Chateau Clinet aims to maintain the freshness, finesse and character. Harvesting is always carried out manually, and following meticulous selection, gravity delivers the grapes to the vats. The cellar layout allows good traceability from the vineyard to the end of the aging period. The production of a well-defined parcel can be followed in each vat, then each barrel.

On average, fermentation and maceration lasts for one month, whereupon the wine is transferred into barrels. ‘Free run’ wines are separated from ‘pressed’ wines, and then aged separately. The wine is aged in French oak barrels. around 60 percent new with the remaining being one-year old.
