Clos René 2009 is a full-bodied Bordeaux blend originating from the Pomerol appellation. This wine exemplifies the Garde family`s commitment to traditional winemaking since acquiring the estate over a century ago. The vineyard spans 18 hectares, primarily dedicated to Merlot (approximately 70%), with notable contributions from Cabernet Franc and a small percentage of Malbec. With a focus on understated complexity, Clos René exhibits potential for further development in the bottle. The estate remains a significant yet often overlooked producer in the region.
