“La Clémence covers an area of almost 3 hectares, divided into 5 blocks, representing, a very particular fact, all the terroirs of Pomerol: blue clay, red gravel, white gravel, deep sand, sand on clay; this allows a very personalized vinification, made to measure. The grapes coming from these plots, after a very qualitative sorting both in the vineyard (4 to 5 bunches per vine) and in the cellar (double sorting progressively refined to finish with a grain-to-grain selection) are vinified in wooden micro-foudres, only by pigeage, without pumping over, in order to respect the fruit as much as possible. The result is a “Haute Couture” wine, all in harmony, very smooth, very “Pomerol” and perfectly in keeping with its name: La Clémence.”
