2022 Château Guillot Clauzel, Pomerol
Tasted April 2023. 83% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Franc. 14.5% abv. This tiny 2.4ha Pomerol property is run by Guillaume Thienpont, of Le Pin and Vieux Chateau Certan. It's a delight to taste Guillot Clauzel every year but none more so than in 2022, where the wine is full of focused, black berry fruit, mingling with notes of silex, gravel, brine and savoury, woody herbs. Still firmly under the radar, this is an absolute delight in 2022.

93-95/100 – William Kelley, Wine Advocate , Issue #266

The best wine that Guillaume Thinepont has produced to date at this small estate is the 2022 Guillot Clauzel, an attractive blend of 83% Merlot and 17% Cabernet Franc that exhibits aromas of blackberries, violets, iris and sweet soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and polished, with supple tannins and a suave, seamless, perfumed profile, Thienpont's decision to reduce the amount of new oak used to only 30% makes for even greater purity and expressiveness.

The 2022 Guillot-Clauzel is a potent, heady wine that expresses all of the solar intensity of the year in its size. A reduction in new oak pushes the fruit forward. Blue/purplish fruit, licorice, lavender, grilled herbs and spices all open in the glass, framed by the slightly larger-grained tannins that are one of the signatures of this site. This powerful, dense Pomerol has a good bit of potential.
