2022 Clément St-Jean Réserve
Overview:
One of our goals when we started the club was to find excellent wines from small producers that were not available in the States. We quickly discovered that growers in France sometimes banded together to form “cooperatives” and utilize the economies of scale to produce their wines. One of our favorite “Cave Cooperatives” is located in the northern tip of the Medoc. They produce excellent wines that are made in the traditional style of classic Bordeaux and Clement St. Jean is one of them.
Bob's Review:
WOW! We discovered this wine in the 2012 vintage and were blown away. It is 100% Cabernet Sauvignan which is very unique in Bordeaux. Here you can really taste the Bordeaux terroir that makes this wine so incredible. Love the nose and the pallet is complex with deep dark fruit and terroir. Everything I love in a wine is here. Wanted to drink the whole glass at the tasting. Lay down for at least five years.
