2021 Château Guillot-Clauzel, Pomerol
"The 2021 Guillot-Clauzel comes from the two hectares picked from September 27 to October 6 and matured in 50% new oak. Like the VCC, the Cabernet Franc comes through quite strongly on the nose, with touches of gravel and loam and hints of blue fruit emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied and finely defined with sappy black fruit laced with liquorice, building toward a structured finish and leaving a long, peppery aftertaste."

"Produced by Guilluame Thienpont, it's a blend of 20% Cabernet Franc and 80% Merlot. Bottled without fining, the 2021 Guillot Clauzel offers up aromas of blackberries and cherries mingled with hints of mint, pencil shavings and orange zest. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a generous core of pure, succulent fruit that's framed by melting tannins, it concludes with a long, saline finish."
