Clarendelle Pomerol

Faithful to its appellation, Clarendelle Pomerol charms with its silky texture and the intensity of its aromas. Dominated by Merlot, this wine expresses all the concentration and elegance of a great terroir. Clarendelle Pomerol reveals notes of dark fruit and spice, supported by fine, silky tannins. A harmonious, deep and delicately structured wine, equally suited for immediate enjoyment or cellaring.

Tasting notes

A clear, dark red colour with wonderful intensity. This blend is primarily made of Merlot complemented by Cabernet Franc and reflects the natural concentration of a sunny and powerful vintage. The wine displays aromas of red fruit, spices and pepper on the nose, underpinned by notes of cigar box and graphite. It is opulent and silky on the palate, dominated by black fruit flavours enhanced by hints of forest fruit, blueberry and blackberry. The fine and elegant tannins add balance and structure. The freshness of the black fruit lingers on the finish, accompanied by subtle floral overtones of iris and violet, as well as nuances of mocha. All in all, a full-bodied, complex and elegant wine likely to improve with age – a perfect illustration of the character of the appellation

Climate

The 2022 vintage was characterised by successive heatwaves demonstrating the reality of climate change. Sunshine set in from May onwards, leading to early, quick and highquality flowering. A series of heatwaves then ensued in midJune, early July and early August, interspersed with welcome rainfall in late June and midAugust that mitigated their effects. The earliness of the heatwaves and water stress from mid-June onwards prepared the grapes to cope better with the impending heat. While produced in lower yields, the resulting wines are of excellent quality and show good balance between powerful tannins and acidity.
