Chateau Clinet scored a perfect 100 points from Robert Parker for their 2009 vintage. Jancis Robinson scored it 19/20. This must be an amazing wine. However for mere mortals the cost of perfection is prohibitive. The next best thing is to go for their second wine, Fleur de Clinet. It tasted far better than we had expected from a second wine. With just less than an hour of opening, the wine was breathing well. This is a fine, smooth, full bodied wine with a bouquet and taste of dark cherries and blue berries. Went very well with the cheese that was served on that day. At less than $80, it is a bargain. The trouble is that this is not easy to locate here in Singapore.
