Clos René (Pomerol)
Over the hill, and then some, there was a glimmer of fruit, but most what remained was wet earth, acidity and a drizzle of sherry. Oh well, they cannot all be winners. Drink from 2026-2026. 38 Views Tasted Mar 15, 2026 |
When to Drink Clos Rene, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Clos Rene needs some time before it can be enjoyed. Young vintages can be decanted for an average of 1 hour, give or take. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume.
Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Clos Rene is usually better with at least 3-5 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character. Clos Rene offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 4-15 years of age after the vintage.
Serving Clos Rene Pomerol with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
Clos Rene Pomerol is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift. Clos Rene is best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes.
Clos Rene Pomerol is also good with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.
