Flowers, black raspberries, chocolate and menthol create the perfume. The wine is full bodied, concentrated and resides between its lean to its elegance and firm characteristics. The fruit is ripe, sweet and plummy, with a touch of green herbs in the finish. With an hour of air, it’s drinking just great at this stage. Drink from 2023-2036.

This is in a really great place, the truffles are right there, licorice, spice, plum, espresso and smoke add to the perfume. On the palate, this really shines with its luscious, fresh, sweet vibrant fruits, silky tannins and freshness. Just starting to really get there, the wine delivers pleasure now, but can easily improve for years.

This is another 2006 Pomerol that is better than their 2005. It shows a more expressive nose with chocolate covered, raspberries, a longer mid palate and more riper tannins. This will take a few more years than the 05 to fully develop.

When to Drink Chateau Clinet, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time

Chateau Clinet is much better with at least 8-12 years of aging in good vintages. Young vintages can be decanted for 2-3 hours or more. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume.

Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Chateau Clinet offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 10-35 years of age after the vintage.

Serving Chateau Clinet with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips

Chateau Clinet is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift. Chateau Clinet is best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes.

Chateau Clinet is also good with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, pasta, and cheese.
