Chateau Guillot Clauzel Pomerol 2013
It's rare to find an affordable Pomerol, but it's almost unheard of to find a mature affordable Pomerol, but that's what we have with the Chateau Guillot Clauzel 2013. 2013 was a tough year for winemakers, and the harvest was small due to problems with rot, but the best worked hard to bring in a small crop of fresh, elegant wines that are now at their peak. The Guillot Clauzel 2013 is a fine example of this. The winemaking team didn't try and force the extract, rather, they let the gentle red and blackberry tones come through. Soft, gentle, and mellow, there's a smoky quality to the fruit, and its easy-going charm is hard to resist.
About the Producer
Château Guillot Clauzel is one of Pomerol’s best-kept secrets – a tiny, 2.4-hectare estate with prime neighbours and serious pedigree. Since 2018, it’s been under the quiet but assured guidance of Guillaume Thienpont (of Le Pin and Vieux Château Certan fame), and the results speak for themselves. With old-vine Merlot and a touch of Cabernet Franc rooted in gravel and blue clay, the wines are poised, pure and precise, showing a modern polish without losing their Pomerol soul. A rising star worth watching.
