Clos du Clocher AOC Pomerol - Jean-Baptiste Audy

The barrel-aged Clos du Clocher Pomerol from the Bordeaux winegrowing region presents a dense purple color in the glass. Holding the glass at a slight angle, a transition of color toward garnet red can be seen at the edges of this barrel-aged wine. Swiveling the glass, this red wine reveals a high density and richness, evident in distinct church windows at the rim of the glass. This French cuvée reveals wonderfully complex notes of black cherries, morello cherries, mulberries and plums in the glass. These are joined by hints of firewood, cigar box and brown bread.

The Jean-Baptiste Audy Clos du Clocher Pomerol presents itself pleasantly dry to the wine drinker. This red wine never appears coarse or meager, as one might expect from a wine in the icon wine segment. This dense red wine is full-bodied and multifaceted on the palate. Due to its vital fruit acidity, the Clos du Clocher Pomerol is exceptionally fresh and lively on the palate. In the finish, this mature red wine from the wine-growing region of Bordeaux finally inspires with considerable length. Once again, hints of blackberry and blueberry show.
