Description

Clos du Clocher was founded in 1924 by Jean Baptiste Audy, starting with a small plot of vines near the church of Pomerol. The property was put together and created in a piecemeal fashion, one parcel or row of vines at a time. Since the original formation of Clos du Clocher, the estate has grown to three plots, totalling 4.6 hectares in their Right Bank vineyards. The vines are on average 25 years of age. But they have old vines as well. In fact, their oldest parcel of vines dates back to 1957. Those vines were planted just after the devastating frost.The wine is aged in about 60% new, French oak barrels for between 16 and 20 months. Starting with the 2014 Bordeaux vintage, the estate began vinifying a portion of the harvest using micro-vinification techniques, meaning that they are now vinifying a portion of their production entirely in French oak barrels.

Variety: Merlot & Cabernet Franc.
Colour: Deep red colour.
Aroma: The nose denotes intense, clean and pleasing aromas which start with hints of black cherry, plum and violet followed by aromas of blueberry, blackberry and raspberry.
Taste: Plummy, sensuous, and fleshy, the fruit feels just great on your palate. The wine is plush and polished with richness and silky textures in the finish. This could be the best value in Pomerol, an ever increasingly expensive appellation.
