2024 Clos du Clocher

Auslieferung bis zum Herbst 2027!
Delivery until Fall 2027!

Inky colour, and a purity of fruits on the aromatics, with well-teased out ripe plum and cassis character. Here the terroir is speaking over the vintage, delivering peony, iris, lilacs, fine tannic architecture, with salinity that flows through the acidity, giving juice without agressivity. First year official certified organic. 34hl/h yield, early deleafing in June, and waiting to harvest, until September 27 through to October 7. Density sorting here, plus cold soak, 55% new oak barrels.

(Pomerol; 75% Merlot; 25% Cabernet Franc; a final yield of 34 hl/ha; pH 3.52; 13.2% alcohol; the first year certified organic and the 100th anniversary since the purchase in 1924; tasted with with Jean-Baptiste Bourotte at the property). Aromatically gorgeous with blue fruits, cedar and graphite and a little black and red cherry, a touch of red liquorice too. With aeration there’s a little damson and damson skin, grape skins too. Really lush, plush and plump. Mouth-filling and cheek-pushing! The considerable amplitude gives the fruits and freshness space to ripple and dance, little tourbillons (swirls) of freshness bubbling and rippling up from below. This has great density and concentration in the mid-palate; but it’s lifted and energetic too. Liquorice – now black – on the saline finish and a well-shaped aerial plume. Succulent, lithe and limpid, the quality of the tannins is exceptional. There’s a hint of menthol on the finish too.

Deep garnet-purple colored. Gorgeous notes of candied violets and juicy blueberries pop from the glass, giving way to hints of fresh raspberries, anise, and fertile loam. The light to medium-bodied palate is light on its feet and whispery with loads of elegant floral and red fruit nuances and a silky texture, supported by beautifully knit freshness, finishing long and perfumed. Very impressive!
