‘Relatively high acidity compared to 2010 and 2016 in this lineup, and the fruit is fresher, still with density and vivid cherry and cassis, alongside pomegranate and touches of redcurrant. As it softens in the glass, this turns into a delicously balanced glass of Pomerol, already open at seven years old, plenty to enjoy. Good stuff. An early harvest, 55% new oak for ageing, Cécile Dupuis technical director, Jean-Baptiste Bourotte owner. 2025-2040’ - Jane Anson, janeanson.com, 93/100
‘The 2017 Clos du Clocher has turned out beautifully. Rich, ample and voluptuous in feel, the 2017 has so much to offer. Juicy dark cherry, plum, chocolate, spice, new leather, licorice and mocha abound in a plush, open-knit Pomerol that has so much to offer. This is such a delicious and compelling wine. 2022-2032’ - Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 93/100 ‘Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Clos du Clocher bursts from the glass with bold blueberry preserves, Christmas cake and baked plums scents plus nuances of raspberry leaves, unsmoked cigar and tapenade. Medium to full-bodied, the palate reveals mouth-filling blackberry and spicy layers, framed by firm, rounded tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long. 2020-2034’ - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate, 92+/100
