Château Clinet, situated in the heart of Pomerol, boasts a lineage dating back to 1595, making it one of the appellation's oldest vineyards. Recognizable by its red shutters and vibrant roses, the estate has consistently produced wines of notable character and quality.
Located on the renowned Pomerol plateau, Château Clinet's vineyards are among the highest elevations in the region. This positioning offers excellent drainage and sun exposure, essential for the cultivation of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The Pomerol region is celebrated for its exceptional red wines, with Château Clinet standing as a testament to this legacy.
The estate's terroir is a complex blend of gravel, clay, and iron-rich sandy soils. This unique composition contributes to the richness and complexity of Château Clinet's wines, allowing both Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon to thrive and express their full potential.
