Recognition & Reviews

One of the best value wines in Bordeaux, Ronan by Clinet is crafted by Ronan Laborde, owner of the renowned Château Clinet in Pomerol and a multiple 100-point winemaker. Featured by Decanter as a 'Top 5 Below £20', and praised by GQ as 'the most extraordinary value red under the sun', the project was further elevated in 2015 with the construction of a dedicated winery in the heart of Pomerol, managing every stage from grape reception to bottling.

VARIETAL COMPOSITION

95% Merlot, 5% Cabernets

WINEMAKING

Crafted in an approachable, early-drinking style, Ronan by Clinet 2020 is vinified with gentle extraction to preserve fruit purity and ensure soft, mouth-coating tannins. The emphasis is on precision and balance, resulting in a supple, polished wine with a seductive, immediately appealing profile, designed to drink beautifully from 2025 to 2029. 14.5%

TASTING NOTE

Aromas of forest berries, black pepper and graphite. In the mouth, its texture is soft and nicely balanced. The flavors of ripe and sweet fruit alongside peppermint and brown sugar make it a complex and charming wine. The finish is intense and long.

FOOD PAIRING & SERVING TEMPERATURE

Roasted lamb rump, roast chicken, mushroom risotto, and tomato-based pasta dishes

Château Clinet

Clinet, whose roots go back to Medieval times, where it gets its name from one of its oldest owners, has found its own place in history with the wines of Château Clinet, but also, since 2009, with the Ronan by Clinet collection. Inspired by the name of the present owner, Ronan by Clinet is a wine whose quality undeniably hints towards Château Clinet’s savoir-faire.
