    Producer

    The Château Clinet vineyard stretches across carefully selected plots, where Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon vines flourish in clay-gravel soil. This unique terroir promotes deep root systems, allowing the grapes to develop intense and complex aromas. The vines, some several decades old, are cultivated using sustainable methods that respect the environment and the specific characteristics of the soil. The proximity of the river and the temperate oceanic climate create ideal conditions for optimal grape ripening, thus guaranteeing the exceptional quality of the wines produced.

    Owner and history

    Currently managed by a passionate team, Château Clinet is owned by the family of Jean-Michel Arcaute, who have perpetuated the estate's legacy of excellence. Under their guidance, the estate has successfully combined tradition and modernity, integrating innovative techniques while respecting the authenticity of the terroir. Their commitment to sustainable and responsible viticulture reflects their desire to produce high-quality, environmentally conscious wines. Thanks to their expertise and passion, Fleur de Clinet continues to captivate wine lovers worldwide.

    Vinification and aging

    The vinification of Fleur de Clinet 2019 is carried out with care and precision. After a manual harvest, the grapes are rigorously sorted before being destemmed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, allowing for optimal temperature control. Maceration is lengthy to extract the full aromatic richness. Aging, which lasts approximately 12 months, occurs in oak barrels, a third of which are new, imparting subtle notes of vanilla and spice while preserving the fruit's expression. This attention to detail at each stage ensures a balanced and elegant wine, true to the spirit of Château Clinet.
