2025 Clos du Clocher Pre-Arrival Offer

Other Reviews...
The 2025 Clos du Clocher is fabulous. In fact, the 2025 is one of the best vintages I have tasted of late. Clos du Clocher impresses with its energy and vibrancy. Red/purplish fruit, blood orange, mocha, espresso and exotic spice soar from the glass. The blend is 78% Merlot and 22% Cabernet Franc, much of it from older vines that confer notable dimension. Brisk saline notes explode on the close. Drink 2035-2075.

The 2025 Clos du Clocher was picked from September 4 with the young Merlot and matured in 56% new oak. This has quite an intense and slightly more opulent bouquet compared to, say, the Clinet that I tasted directly prior to my visit. Yet the fruit here is pleasingly pure and focused: blueberry and raspberry fruit, iodine and pressed violets. Fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins, quite dense and powerful for a Clos du Clocher though the silver thread of acidity and underlying fine tannins means that there is no excess. Gentle but insistent grip, a little granular in texture towards the structured finish, do not be afraid to cellar this Pomerol for a few years if you wish. Impressive, but be patient and broach its sibling Bonalgue as you wait for this to mature. 13.4% alcohol. Drink 2033-2058.

This has a silky expression and delicate fruit, with some firm tannins in the background that contradict the rest.

A Merlot-heavy blend of 78% Merlot and 22% Cabernet Franc that's being raised 18 months in 56% new French oak, the 2025 Clos Du Clocher comes from a château that deserves more attention in the market today. The wine has a brilliant nose of juicy red and blue fruits with notable complexity in its spicy wood, flowers, and graphite-like nuances. On the palate, it's rich and medium to full-bodied, with a focused, elegant mouthfeel, wonderfully polished tannins, and a great finish. Checking in at 13.3% alcohol with a pH of 3.54, it stays in the focused, elegant style of the vintage and is beautifully done.

A great Pomerol in the making. Really floral and so perfumed with violets and iris notes. Heady aromatics, so intense and concentrated yet so precise and clean too with really delineated scents. Juicy and bright with strawberry and red cherry, the acidity up front while the fine tannins gently coat the sides of the mouth in a chalky powderiness. Grippy with volume and a lot of tannins but they're so well handled and will soften and round over ageing. Serious but lots to like here – I really like the brightness. Salivating, salty, clean and focused. 3.54pH. 91 IPT. A yield of 32hl/ha. Ageing 58% new oak, 33% one-year-old barrels, 10% small vats and wine globes. Drink 2033-2049.
