Under the stewardship of Ronan Laborde, the estate has seen a revitalization, focusing on sustainable practices and preserving the legacy of this historic property.
The dedication to quality winemaking and the expression of Pomerol’s terroir has been a consistent theme throughout its history.
Viticulture
Château Clinet’s vineyards are strategically located on the renowned clay and gravel soils of Pomerol.
The estate spans approximately 11 hectares, primarily planted with Merlot, the dominant grape variety in Pomerol. Additionally, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon are also cultivated to contribute complexity to the blends.
The commitment to sustainable viticulture ensures the health of the vines and the vitality of the terroir, promoting the expression of the unique Pomerol characteristics in the grapes.
Vinification
The winemaking process at Château Clinet is a meticulous journey from vine to bottle.
Harvesting is done by hand, allowing for a careful selection of the finest grapes. The fermentation process takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats to preserve the grapes’ purity. After fermentation, the wines are aged in carefully chosen oak barrels, a process that imparts structure, complexity, and subtle nuances.
The winemaking team at Château Clinet blends tradition with innovation, ensuring that each vintage reflects the best of both.
