Clos du Clocher Pomerol 2021

The 5ha Clos du Clocher has pulled off a brilliant trick in 2021, proving as it often does that in difficult years you should look for wines with natural density in their soils. This is powerful, with succulence to its blackberry and damson fruits, and delivers cocoa bean, truffle and bitter almond edging to deepen the effect. Natural yeast, no chaptilisation, no saignée (bleeding of the tanks in the cellar), 37hl/h yield, aged in 50% new oak, and 10% wine globes. In official organic conversion for the first time in 2021, but has been working this way for some time.
