Description

A bottle in very good original condition from the excellent '89 vintage of this well respected Pomerol estate.

Approaching maturity and ready to drink.

Clos du Clocher Vineyards, Terroir, Grapes, Winemaking

The 4.6 hectare vineyard of Clos du Clocher is planted to 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc and is situated behind Chateau Beauregard not too far from Chateau La Croix St.Georges, and belongs to Chateau Clinet.
Clos du Clocher has a terroir with clay, gravel and sand soils. The vineyard is situated in three main parcels.
It was created in 1931 by the ancestors of the present owners. The influential Bordeaux-based oenologist Michel Rolland is their consultant and the property is producing wines of consistent quality. Robert Parker considers the 1989 to be one of their best ever vintages.

The best terroir is gavel and clay soils located not that far from vines owned by Chateau Latour-a-Pomerol and Chateau La Fleur Petrus. The vines are on average 25 years of age. But they have older vines as well. In fact, their oldest parcel of vines dates back to 1957. Those vines were planted just after the devastating frost.

To produce the wine of Clos du Clocher, vinification takes place in cement tanks that vary in size from 19 hectoliters up to 91 hectoliters. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in barrel.

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.

The estate is managed by Jean-Baptiste Bourotte, a direct descendant of the founder, Jean Baptiste Audy.
Michel Rolland is the consultant for Clos du Clocher.
