This is Chateau Clinets youngest sibling, named after the estates owner, Ronan Laborde; & with vineyards just outside Pomerol. It undoubtedly delivers the quality we have come to associate with this great appellation though, just without the price tag. Drinking now. Ronan By Clinet is made in the same way, in the same style, at the same place, by the same people as the Grand Vin which scores 97-100 from Parker in this great vintage. 2009 really suits this lesser wine as the lush, rich fruit concentration & good acidity structure underpin the wine
- drink now or hold for 3-5 years.. . this wine is unmissable... the most extraordinary value red wine under the sun.
