A properly velvet-textured Pomerol, showing some of the richness of the Merlot in 2004. This is a well – balanced, intensely rich wine, the black plum fruit flavors powering through the tannins, and with a good lift of fresh acidity to finish.
the wine more freshness and lift. Young vintages can be decanted for 1 hour. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Clos du Clocher is best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted braised and grilled dishes. Clos du Clocher is also good with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms and pasta.
