2020 Clos du Clocher Pomerol France
"Extremely Captivating. Splendid" ~96 WinesCritic.com "It’s a Brilliant Wine in the Making" ~Jeb Dunnuck 98 Point "Exceptional" Vintage ~Vinous Media Wine Consultant Michel Rolland Free Shipping on 6 or More Bottles About the Wine Clos du Clocher may have started small, but its story is one of steady growth and refinement. Founded in 1924 by Jean Baptiste Audy, this hidden gem in Pomerol has been a family affair, lovingly built one row of vines at a time. Today, it's a vineyard spanning 4.6 hectares in the illustrious Right Bank, and the wines coming out of here have never been better. With a blend dominated by 70% Merlot and rounded out with 30% Cabernet Franc, 2020 is a stellar vintage from this estate. The vineyard’s best plots sit near famed neighbors like Chateau La Fleur Petrus and Trotanoy, sharing the same clay, gravel, and sand soils. It’s no wonder that Clos du Clocher has started turning heads among serious collectors—though prices haven’t yet caught up with the quality.
