Clos Rene 2016 Pomerol

So good to find a proper Pomerol that doesn't cost the earth. This strangely featureless plateau of clay and gravel produces wines of eye watering expense like Petrus. Clos Rene is one of the larger properties in the region and has improved enormously, making firm, traditionally styled wines that still bring that sensual warmth of merlot on clay.
