2019 Chateau Guillot Clauzel - Pomerol AC

Decanter.com – 94 pts – GH: *A lovely punch of dark fruits with acidity that is fresh, sappy and juicy but it's the texture, weight and frame that is so captivating. It's a dark style with a deep liquorice core but generous, mouthfilling and all in balance. Defined with Pomerol style and a cooling freshness and menthol, mineral finish. Guillaume Thienpont oversees the vineyard.* - 01/2022

Vinous.com – 93 pts – AG: *The 2019 Guillot Clauzel is every bit as compelling as it was from barrel. Rich fruit and racy contours show the exuberance of the warm summer and yet persistent mineral-drive, savory undertones add distinctive character. It's the sort of wine that needs a few years in bottle to fully blossom. Vibrant dark fruit, dried rose petal, licorice and menthol build into the potent finish. This is the second vintage made under the direction of Guillaume Thienpont. The future certainly looks bright here.* - 01/2022

Thewinecellarinsider.com – 94 pts – JL: *Loads of dark chocolate covered black plums and cherries come along with truffle, flowers and wet earth. Richly-textured, opulent, silky and vibrant, the wine is concentrated, sensuous and long, with a fresh, energized, velvety plummy finish. This is only the second vintage for Chateau Guillot Clauzel with Guillaume Thienpont at the helm. This is a future Pomerol star on the rise. The production is minscule with less than 500 cases produced, so grab it while you can. Drink from 2024-2045.* - 03/2022
