'Clos du Clocher; zelfde score als Petrus'
De wijngaarden van het clos bevatten de blauwe klei die zo typerend is voor de beste wijnen van Pomerol en zorgt voor een onderscheidende
smaak. Belangrijke nog, is het feit dat Clos du Clocher circa 30% cabernet franc in de blend gebruikt. Ter vergelijking: de gemiddelde Pomerolblend bevat maar 15% cabernet franc. Dat hogere aandeel cabernet franc in Clos du Clocher maakt een wereld van verschil. Cabernet franc heeft immers meer fruitintensiteit dan cabernet sauvignon en meer tannine dan merlot. Tel daarbij op dat de druiven afkomstig zijn van oude stokken en u begrijpt waarom deze wijn écht afwijkt van de archetype Pomerol. Clos du Clocher is vooral vleziger van textuur. Jane Anson in haar proefnotitie van de 2022: ‘It’s the texture that’s most captivating, velvety, chalky, ripe, fleshy and refined all at once.’
Clos du Clocher doet de laatste jaren mee aan de top van Pomerol. De jaargang 2022 ontvangt van Jane Anson de hoge score van 97/100. Dezelfde score geeft zij aan de 2022 van Petrus, één van de duurste wijnen op deze aardbol. Clos du Clocher is een wijn die doet verrassen. Verrassen doet ook de prijs. In positieve zin dan welteverstaan. Want waar het om de prijs gaat, lijkt Clos du Clocher juist weer helemáál niet op zijn kostbare dorpsgenoten.

A stunning wine in 2022 showcasing star power in Pomerol and delivering one of the appellation’s clear successes. Beautifully fragrant on the nose, fresh and ripe black fruits, purple flowers, milk chocolate, salty stones and liquorice. Smooth, sumptuous and seductive in terms of texture - tannins are beautifully chalky and so well integrated - almost effortlessly supporting the concentrated fruit and giving the confident structure. Focussed and detailed but not tight or tense, really quite a special effort. Energy and mouthwatering acidity is in the background but it’s the texture that’s most captivating, velvety, chalky, ripe, fleshy and refined all at once. It manages to be understated in a year where it was easy to be anything but. I love it. 3.6pH. A yield of 39hl/ha. Harvest started on 7 September. Soft extraction with natural yeasts for fermentation. Ageing 55-60% oak barrels, 30% one wine barrels, and 7% in small concrete tanks and wine globes. Second year of organic conversion. Next year, 2024, Clos du Clocher will celebrate its 100 year anniversary having been founded by Jean-Baptiste Audy in 1924.

Helped by old vine Cabernet Franc that dates back to 1957, this is full of wonderfully dark damson fruits, shot thorugh with mint leaf cooling complexity. Velvety tannins, crushed rose petals, supple and enticing. This is a brilliant wine, really pulls away from many in the appellation. The tannins are very much present right at the front of the palate, and then they form an arch, that allows the fruit underneath. Natural yeasts, very little oxygen, low sulphur additions, a wine for the ages. Once again Clos du Clocher shows why it deserves to be at the top table in Pomerol. 60% new barrels, 30% one year old barrels, 10% small vats (glass and concrete). Organic conversion. 2024 will be 100 years in the family, so this is 98th anniversary.

A blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, the 2022 Clos du Clocher has a pH of 3.6 and is vinified with natural yeast. It has a deep garnet-purple color and soars from the glass with vibrant notes of wild blueberries, fresh black raspberries, and orange peel, followed by suggestions of Indian spices, cedar chest, and lavender. The full-bodied palate is taut, tightly wound, and muscular, featuring ripe, rounded tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and fragrant. Beautifully done!

Builds on the palate with dark berry and chocolate aromas and flavors. Medium to full body. Integrated tannins and a flavorful finish. Solid. Juicy.

This has a fragrant, pure bouquet with blueberry, cassis and violet scents. There’s lovely definition here, and the oak is neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with a velvety smooth entry. Concentrated but well-balanced, the gentle grip on the finish lingers in the mouth. This a classy Pomerol from “JB” and his team.

Silky cherries, plums, cocoa, and violets in the perfume, the wine is medium/full-bodied, vibrant, opulent, silky, lush, and polished. The finish continues its theme of dark chocolate-covered fruit, espresso, and sensuous textures from the mid-palate through to the silky, long finish.
