Product Highlights

Full Product Description

Ronan by Clinet 2020 is a smooth and approachable Bordeaux red wine produced by the team of Château Clinet, a historic Pomerol estate. Created as an everyday Bordeaux with the polish and know-how of a prestigious Right Bank producer, Ronan by Clinet focuses on fruit purity, soft tannins, and easy food pairing. The official Ronan by Clinet site describes it as a Bordeaux AOC wine made by the Château Clinet team in partnership with conscientious growers.

The wine is Merlot-led in style, offering a rounded and supple profile. Clinet’s own shop describes Ronan by Clinet as 100% Merlot, gently fruity and spicy, while other vintage-specific retail notes list the 2020 as 95% Merlot with small portions of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc; please confirm the exact blend from your bottle or supplier sheet before final listing.

The 2020 vintage shows appealing aromas of raspberry, cherry, blackcurrant, plum, blackberry, chocolate, licorice, smoke, and soft spice. On the palate, it is bright, supple, medium-bodied, and smooth, with vibrant red and black fruit, soft tannins, and a rounded finish. Wine Enthusiast describes the 2020 as soft, smoky, mature, and ready to drink, with soft tannins, red berry fruit, and spicy aromas.

This is a great choice for customers looking for a reliable Bordeaux red that is easier to enjoy than a powerful cellar wine, while still carrying the reputation of Château Clinet. Serve it with roast chicken, grilled meats, burgers, lamb chops, pork, tomato-based pasta, beef stew, charcuterie, and hard cheese.
