Clos René (Pomerol)
Dried flowers, dried cherries and raspberries pop in the nose with little effort. On the palate, the wine is light, soft, fresh, vibrant and refined with sweetness to the red fruits that carries all the way through to the finish. This is a fine, well-priced, early drinking charmer. Drink from 2024-2032. 386 Views Tasted Mar 9, 2024The property lost 30% of their crop due to frost damage.

Clos René (Pomerol)
Black cherries, licorice, flowers and truffle make an appearance in the nose. The wine is medium-bodied, with a lush, polished, silky, fresh palate presence which is perfect for all of its ripe, pure, energetic, red pit fruits and spice. This has really come on strong during its barrel aging. In fact, this is at the level of the older vintages from the 40s and 50s. Drink from 2024-2045. 2,097 Views Tasted Mar 21, 2023Medium-bodied, with a smoky, ripe, earthy, fresh, bright approach to the fruit. The wine is lifted and energetic, finishing with touches of savory herbs and wet earth in the endnotes. Give this 5 years or so of aging before pulling a cork. 89-91 Pts 3,346 Views Tasted May 20, 2021 |

Clos René (Pomerol)
Medium-bodied, soft, fresh and already sporting a nose filled with mint leaf, cherries and mocha. Approachable, fresh, vibrant and already easy to like, with all of its spicy cherries, you and drink this just about on release, or age it for a bit for more secondary nuances. Drink from 2023-2036. 2,559 Views Tasted Mar 29, 2022 |

2018
Clos René (Pomerol)
Medium-bodied, finesse styled Pomerol focusing on the softness in the tannins and sweetness in the plummy fruits. Elegant, fresh and with good tension in the mouth, give it a few years to fill out and it should be an even better wine. 1,973 Views Tasted Mar 9, 2021The most concentrated wine in the history of Clos Rene, this is on the deep plum side with licorice, dark chocolate and tension in the mouth. The fruit makes its presence known --something that has been missing from this estate for a while. Much of that credit goes to their new consultant Thomas Duclos. 89-91 Pts 2,946 Views Tasted Apr 19, 2019 |

Clos René (Pomerol)
The first thing you notice is the raspberry aromatics before moving to the soft, polished textures. The wine is easy to like and easy to drink. Medium bodied, forward and fresh, this experience ends with licorice, red fruits and espresso. 2,755 Views Tasted Apr 26, 2018 |

Clos René (Pomerol)
Earthy red fruits and herbs with a nice note of thyme starts of this medium bodied, forward, cherry filled, early drinking Pomerol. 3,133 Views Tasted Sep 21, 2019This is almost dark purple, which is not something you expect with Clos Rene. Silky tannins, ripe, dark red fruits and a blend of blackberry and licorice in the finish make this the best ever produced from this estate. 3,947 Views Tasted Apr 29, 2017 |

Clos René (Pomerol)
Certainly a contender for the best wine ever produced at the property. The medium bodied Pomerol is a bit stern, but you can find nice, ripe black cherries, wet earth, plum and mocha in the nose and finish. Drink this young, or age it 5 years before popping a cork. 4,844 Views Tasted Aug 22, 2014 |
