Clos du Clocher 2009 is a full-bodied Right Bank Bordeaux from the Clos du Clocher estate located in the heart of Pomerol. The state was founded by wine merchant Jean-Baptiste Audy in 1924 and is now run by Audy`s great-grandson, Jean-Baptiste Bourotte. The blend for this cuvée is typically around 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc - the Merlot portion bringing roundness and depth; the Cabernet portion more elegance and finesse. This bottling is from the exceptionally good 2009 vintage. "Attractive acidity combines with a judicious use of wood aging, producing a wine that is fresh, fragrant and ripe. It has weight while remaining lively and fruity." Wine Enthusiast, 2013
