Coming from the southern part of the Médoc, the 2009 Château Clement-Pichon has a complex bouquet of red and black currant fruit as well as notes of tobacco, sandalwood, and spice. It's an opulent, medium to full-bodied, beautifully textured 2009 that's right in the middle of its drink window. I'd be happy to have more in the cellar.
The home residence of the construction magnate Clement Fayat, this property sitting in the very southern end of Medoc has turned out a very attractive wine with lots of black currant, black cherry and cedary notes. It is evolved, elegant, medium to full-bodied, with a dark plum/ruby color. Savory and complex already, this wine should drink nicely for another 7-10 years.
