Clos René-Pomerol

Clos René is a family-run winery with a century-old history, rooted in the prestigious terroir of Pomerol. Passed down from generation to generation, this estate is distinguished by the production of high-quality red wines, the result of careful selection of grapes and traditional processing. The Clos René vineyards, which extend over approximately 12 hectares, are located on sandy and gravelly soils, characterized by optimal drainage and a mineral richness that give the wines a complex structure and distinctive elegance. The composition of the soil, predominantly sandy, favors a slow and gradual ripening of the grapes, enhancing their aromatic characteristics. The predominant grape variety in the Clos René blend is Merlot, which gives the wines roundness, softness and a wide range of fruity aromas. The blend is completed by Cabernet Franc, which provides structure and complexity, and to a lesser extent Malbec, which helps to intensify the color and enrich the aromatic bouquet. The winemaking at Clos René is conducted according to traditional methods, with the aim of preserving the integrity of the grapes and enhancing their varietal characteristics. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, to ensure optimal extraction of aromatic and tannic compounds. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels for a period that varies depending on the vintage, during which it acquires complexity and roundness. Clos René is strongly committed to the enhancement of the territory and the production of quality wines while respecting the environment. The company adopts sustainable agricultural practices, limiting the use of chemical products and favoring the use of organic fertilizers.

This vintage, characterized by a particularly favorable vintage, best expresses the potential of the terroir and the savoir-faire of the winery. Clos René 2018 is a blend composed mainly of Merlot, with a small percentage of Cabernet Franc and Malbec. The grapes, harvested manually, are vinified in a traditional way, with maceration on the skins and alcoholic fermentation in steel tanks.
