A blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, the 2016 Clos du Clocher has a deep garnet color. It needs a little swirling to uncover notes of crushed black cherries, mulberries and preserved plums, plus suggestions of licorice, charcuterie, and tapenade, with a waft of black truffles. Full-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-coating, spicy black fruits with a refreshing backbone and velvety tannins, finishing long and peppery.
The 2016 Clos du Clocher is medium to deep garnet-purple colored and very earthy on the nose with cigar box, forest floor, truffles and charcoal aromas with black cherries and baked red and black plums. Elegantly styled, the palate is medium-bodied with perfumed fruit, a fine-grained frame and a long refreshing finish.
