Generously textured, this is softly chewy, plush, chalky and grippy – the ripe, concentrated blackcurrants and cherries really fill the mouth, while the tannins provide the firm yet wide frame. Great finesse and detail on show, persistent and energetic with layers of freshness and finishing with a cool mint and liquorice tang. Lovely integration of wood – almost no overt oak spice or sense of alcohol. Definitely deserves its place as one of the best 2022 Pomerols.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Appellation

Pomerol

Pomerol, a distinguished appellation on Bordeaux's Right Bank, stands as a vinous jewel celebrated for its exceptional Merlot-dominant red wines. What makes Pomerol unique is its relatively small size, allowing for an intimate focus on individual vineyards and an emphasis on artisanal winemaking. Unlike many Bordeaux regions, Pomerol does not have a formal classification system, placing the spotlight on each estate's intrinsic quality and distinct terroir. Merlot thrives in Pomerol's clay-rich soils, crafting wines of opulence, velvety texture, and alluring plum and black cherry notes. Iconic châteaux like Pétrus and Le Pin showcase the pinnacle of Pomerol's winemaking prowess. The absence of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blends further accentuates the appellation's uniqueness. Pomerol wines are revered for their approachability in youth and the ability to evolve gracefully over time, exemplifying the timeless elegance and allure of this exceptional Bordeaux appellation.

The 2022 Clos Du Clocher is a stunning effort, offering red and black fruits, iron, graphite, leafy herbs, and floral violet notes. Full-bodied and concentrated, it has a gorgeous mouthfeel, velvety tannins, and remarkable balance. Seamless and elegant, with very fine tannins, it’s one of the best examples I’ve tasted from this estate, which lies on the upper plateau, in the heart of the appellation, just beside the church. It will have 30 years of longevity.

The Wine Independent

This is a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, the latter mostly old vines aged more than 60 years. The vineyards are managed organically, with certification coming in 2024 after the completion of the conversion period, and in the cellar less use of sulphites, and the introduction of a small percentage of wine globes for the élevage to hold on to the fruit. A beautifully dark and scented nose of blackberry, currant and rosehips opens with promise. The texture on the palate is just gorgeous, showing a voluptuous character, with saline damson, black cherry, blackberry, dark roses and currants wrapped up in fine tannins and fresh acidity. A brilliant composition, rich in tannic structure although it works well within the wine, with a warm structure and fresh tannins. A brilliant Clos du Clocher which I am sure will still be drinking well fifty years from now. The alcohol on the label is 14.5%.

Vinous Media

The 2022 Clos du Clocher is superb. In fact, the 2022 is one of the best vintages of this wine I have tasted. Pliant and deep, the 2022 is all finesse. Dark red cherry, mocha, new leather, spice and licorice all meld together. The 2022 is substantial but not at all overdone.

Wine Spectator

This is in a dark, toasty style, with a plush edge to its core of black currant and blackberry compote flavors. Offers a buried graphite spine and a long finish, with echoes of alder, bay and warm earth that emerge alongside the fruit. For the hedonist crowd. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2040.

James Suckling

A round and compact Pomerol, showing ripe dark plums, black chocolate and hints of truffles and spices. Structured on the palate with dusty tannins rounding off the rich, flavorful mid-palate fruit. Full-bodied, tight and long. 75% merlot and 25% cabernet franc. Drink from 2028.
