Château Clinet is a wine producer located in Pomerol, Bordeaux, on the Right Bank of the Gironde. The vineyards are planted predominantly to Merlot, alongside small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon.
These proportions are mirrored in the makeup of the highly regarded and ageworthy grand vin. The 1989 and 2009 vintages both achieved perfect 100-point scores from Robert Parker.
When the Laborde family bought the château in 1998, consultant Michel Rolland increased the amount of time the grand vin spent in new oak and introduced a range of modern winemaking techniques in the winery. Today the château relies on an in-house group of winemakers.
The vineyard site is one of the oldest in Pomerol, with evidence dated back to 1595.

| Robert Parker | Black magic! I don't think any fountain pen ink could be darker than the 1994 Clinet. A legend in the making, the 1994 Clinet may rival the virtually perfect 1989. Along with the 1994 L'Angelus and 1994 Troplong-Mondot, it is one of the three most concentrated wines of the vintage, with layer upon layer of extraordinarily pure, amazingly rich, astonishingly extracted black fruits. This full-bodied, explosive, blockbuster 1994 should drink well by the end of the century, and last for at least 30 years. It is superior to the 1990 and 1988 Clinet - no small accomplishment. A winemaking tour de force! |
