2016 Ronan by Clinet, Bordeaux
Still a massive hit with customers. Every vintage release of Ronan by Clinet disappears from our warehouse within a short time and without fail. If you're a fan already, you can understand why. Youll know that it is made by Ronan Laborde and his team from the world-class Pomerol estate Château Clinet, and yet costs less than £15 a bottle. And that its ripe, 100% merlot sourced from specially selected, Côtes de Bordeaux vineyards surrounding the revered Pomerol commune makes for the opulent, sumptuously styled and intensely delicious red that it does. An AOC Bordeaux appellation with an essence of Pomerol.
If instead youre ready to become a fan, then take advantage of todays 2016 vintage release offer on what we and many consider to be among Bordeauxs greatest-ever-value wines.
Clearly a wine made in the style of Château Clinet's own grand vin, Ronan shows a rich, powerful, fruit-driven nose and the wonderful concentration of black cherry and plummy flavours that the Pomerol fan in you will expect. All mouth-watering reasons to explain why these bottles dont stick around very long. And to add to the attraction, theyve got a dandy new label design, too - quite literally. Ronan by Clinet: now a bottle of joie de vivre inside and out.
Tasting note
Draped in layers of deep garnet, Ronan by Clinet 2016 exudes notes of dark blue and black berry fruit, with a splash of fresh raspberry, sweet spice and flinty notes. Creamy and generous on the palate, it unfolds flavours of red cherry, cranberry and blueberry. Roasted coffee and chocolate mingle within a complex palette of aromas that pleasantly prolong a moment of pure indulgence.
Ronan Laborde, Château Clinet
Critics reviews
...a charming, already delicious effort that gives up elegant notes of chocolate-laced plums and dark fruits, notes of leafy herbs and truffle, medium to full body, and a layered, charming mouthfeel. Its a terrific Bordeaux to drink over the coming 7-8 years or so.
