Ronan by Clinet 2020

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.
