Château Clinet, Pomerol 2009
by Château Clinet
A legendary Right Bank vintage from one of Pomerol’s most respected estates — rich, opulent, and beautifully balanced, now drinking in a gorgeous mature window.
Predominantly Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon
2009 was a warm, generous year in Bordeaux — producing plush fruit with superb structure
Powerful yet polished — classic Clinet elegance with vintage richness
Nose:
Black cherry compote, ripe plum, cassis, dark chocolate, espresso, violets, and warm spice
Palate:
Full-bodied and silky — layers of blackberry, mocha, liquorice, truffle, and sweet tobacco with velvety tannins
Finish:
Long, luxurious, and harmonious with lingering dark fruit and cocoa notes
Drinking beautifully now, with another 10–15 years of graceful ageing ahead if well stored.
Beef fillet, ribeye, or slow-braised short ribs
Lamb with rosemary or truffle jus
Mushroom risotto or aged Parmigiano
Perfect for elegant tasting menus or premium wine dinners at Mario’s
2009 is considered one of Bordeaux’s great modern vintages
Clinet delivered exceptional concentration without heaviness
A crowd-pleaser for collectors and serious wine lovers
In short:
A plush, seductive Pomerol with depth, polish, and unmistakable Right Bank charm — a wine that feels luxurious from first sip to last.
