Description

A Robert Parker quote on the magnificent 2009 Bordeaux vintage:-

“2009 is the greatest vintage I have tasted in Bordeaux since 1982,of which it is a modern-day version,but greatly improved”.


Château Clinet is a small Pomerol property that has leapt to prominence in the last 15 years and now produces one of the most sought-after wines in the region.The 9-hectare vineyard is on top of one of the finest plateaux in Pomerol and is planted with 80% Merlot,10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc.
In the mid-eighties the proprietor Jean-Michel Arcaute engaged the services of cult oenologist Michel Rolland,who introduced much later harvesting,ensuring super-ripe fruit, as well as extending the amount of time the wines spent in 100% new oak barriques. Within 5 years,Clinet's small production wine was being compared to that of Pétrus, Lafleur and Le Pin,and also selling for very high prices.Clinet produces a wine which is concentrated and rich but is supremely well balanced with a finish that lasts and lasts. It is hard to resist when young, yet the wines from the best vintages will continue to improve for at least 10 years.
The 2009 vintage is probably the greatest wine that Chateau Clinet has ever produced and the expert's wine tasting notes below bear this out:-

"Clinet has been on a hot streak lately and the 2009 appears to be the greatest wine ever made at this estate,surpassing even the lat Jean Michel Arcaute's monumental 1989.A blend of 85% Merlot and tiny amounts of Cabernet Franc (12%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (3%),this big Pomerol boasts an opaque moonless night inky/purple/blue color in addition to a gorgeous perfume of blueberry pie,incense,truffles,black raspberries,licorice and wood smoke.Viscous and multidimensional with silky,sweet tannin,massive fruit concentration and full-bodied power,there are more than 4,000 cases of this thick,juicy,perfect Clinet.It should drink well in 3-5 years and keep for 25-30".
(100 POINTS).

Robert Parker. (The Wine Advocate. March 2012).


"The greatest Clinet since the incredible duo produced produced by the late Jean-Michel Arcaute in 1989 and 1990 (tasted on 4 separate occasions) was off the charts in terms of quality and potential.Yields of 47 hectoliters per hectare were not particularly low and the fruit used in the final blend (87% Merlot,10% Cabernet Franc,and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon; 14% natural alcohol) was all harvested between between September 21 and October 7.The wine boasts an opaque black/purple color in addition to a gorgeous bouquet of truffles,charcoal,asphalt,blackberries,blueberries,and meaty,smoky notes.This dense,unctuously-textured Pomerol is built like a skyscraper with multiple layers,sweet tannins,and enormous concentration as well as length.The good news is that there will be 4,000 cases of this modern day legend in the making.It should drink well for 30-35 years.While it's hard to eclipse a 100-point wine (1989),the 2009 appears to be the finest Clinet ever made. (Tasted four times)".
(97-100 Points).

Robert Parker. (The Wine Advocate. #188. April 2010).

Robert Parker added an asterisk to this wine score to signify that it is a wine that he considers has the finest potential of all the offerings he has ever tasted from this estate in nearly 32 years of barrel tasting samples in Bordeaux.


"Blackberry and mineral aromas,with flowers.Full-bodied,but reserved and supersilky and pretty.This is the bomb.Forget the 1989".
(95-98 Points).

James Suckling. (WineSpectator.com February 2012).
