Ronan By Clinet Bordeaux 2020

For our first feature on the great 2020 Bordeaux vintage, we have the pleasure of bringing you one of the most storied names in Bordeaux - Chateau Clinet. Now, reds from this iconic winery can retail over $250 in Australia, which does put them out of reach for most people's budget, but don't fret - we've found something very special; the excellent Ronan By Clinet 2020, available for just $32 bucks!

Ronan By Clinet is the long-term project of Ronan Laborde, owner of the famed Château Clinet in Pomerol. With the knowledge and expertise of Chateau Clinet behind it, you shouldn't be surprised to find this delivers far more than you would normally expect from a Bordeaux under $35.

This is a wine with serous pedigree, having previously featured on the front cover of Decanter Magazine as Best Value Red in Bordeaux and Inside the Top 15 Reds of the Year by our favourite wine scribe Jeb Dunnuck. The 2020 release looks to be another stunner, with major wine writer Jeff Love calling it ''One of the best-priced wines from Bordeaux.''

Given the reputation that producer Chateau Clinet holds in mighty Bordeaux, this is indeed a truly impressive wine. Its deliciously fruit-driven with plenty of raspberry, blackberry and cherry fruits to enjoy with hints of violets. Its oak aged to soften the tannins, with good structure and excellent acid balance with fine notes of spices in the finish. Beautifully concentrated, it finishes long and flavoursome.

Ronan By Clinet 2020 is a Bordeaux that has swept the world for all the right reasons. A prestigious Château, an exceptional track record, and a price that makes genuine Bordeaux pedigree accessible to everyone. Buy with confidence today!

''Chocolate, plums, and cherries, along with licorice flavors, are prominent here, both in the perfume and on the medium-bodied, round, soft-textured palate.  This succulent and flavorful wine is ready to enjoy as soon as it hits your store. One of the best-priced wines from Bordeaux.'' Jeff Love, The Wine Celler Insider
