Ronan by Clinet Bordeaux Blanc 2024 is a fresh, modern white from the team behind Château Clinet, one of the historic estates of Pomerol. In the glass, the wine is pure, savoury and lively. Expect bright citrus, green apple and white peach, with a subtle herbal edge and a light mineral note from the limestone soils. The palate is crisp and energetic, with clean acidity and a gently savoury finish that keeps it refreshing and food-friendly. Château Clinet itself lies about 40 km east of Bordeaux on the right bank of the Garonne River, on one of the highest points of the Pomerol plateau, and has been producing wine for centuries. The Ronan Blanc vineyards are located in the heart of Entre-Deux-Mers, on soils formed from the same limestone base found in Saint-Émilion. Predominantly clay-limestone soils enhance fruit expression, while cooler clay-loam areas provide ideal conditions for white varieties.
