FEATURES
The 2010 Clos du Clocher from Pomerol is a testament to an extraordinary vintage, showcasing concentration in black fruits, tannins, alcohol, and oak, resulting in a demonstrative yet remarkably precise and promising wine. This Pomerol estate, owned by the Bourotte family, is situated in the heart of the famous Pomerol plateau, known for its dense iron-rich clay soils. The 2010 vintage is considered strong and increasingly superior to 2005 by some critics. It exhibits a fascinating complexity on the nose with sweet dark fruit, hints of soy and black pepper. On the palate, it's big with spices, cloves, rich fruit concentration, and highly structured tannins, hinting at great things to come. Robert Parker rated it 90 points, noting its blueberry and mocha-infused black cherry fruit with a hint of candied caramel, outstanding purity, texture, and richness, and a mid-weight style with undeniable elegance. Decanter described it as ripe and appealing on the nose, suave, concentrated, and lavishly fruity, with very good clarity, depth of fruit, purity, length, and natural vigor. 【An extraordinary Pomerol vintage with monumental structure and elegance】. This wine is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, with old Cabernet Franc vines contributing to its distinct personality.
Food Pairing: This Bordeaux Pomerol wine is an excellent match for beef, lamb, poultry, and venison.
Event Suggestions: Ideal for a sophisticated dinner party, a celebratory meal, or as a centerpiece for a serious wine collector's tasting. It's a wine that demands attention and appreciation.
