Clos 56 Pomerol is an exceptionally rare, prestigious, and luxurious red wine produced in the world-renowned Pomerol appellation on the Right Bank of Bordeaux, France. Clos 56 represents a microscopic, ultra-boutique micro-estate spanning a mere fraction of a hectare of prime Pomerol terroir. Crafted with meticulous, artisanal precision and produced in strictly limited quantities, this wine exemplifies the pinnacle of Merlot-dominated Bordeaux, delivering profound elegance, velvety richness, and extraordinary longevity.

Why You'll Love It

This wine stands out for its hedonistic concentration, seamless silkiness, and incredible aromatic purity. Grown on the prized gravel and blue clay soils that make Pomerol legendary, the ancient vines produce exceptionally low yields of intensely concentrated fruit. Matured with precision in fine French oak barrels, it offers a deeply multi-layered profile of dark black cherries, violets, black truffles, and sweet cocoa, supported by ultra-fine, cashmere-like tannins that ensure immediate luxury alongside remarkable cellar potential.

Vineyard & Production

The grapes are hand-harvested from a tiny, meticulously tended plot of old vines cultivated on gravel-over-clay soils in the heart of Pomerol. Following rigorous triple-sorting at the vineyard and winery, the grapes undergo gentle destemming before fermenting in small, temperature-controlled wooden vats with delicate cap management to ensure soft, precise extraction. The wine is then transferred to 100% new French oak barrels for an extended maturation period of around eighteen to twenty months, undergoing malolactic fermentation in barrel to enhance its opulent, velvety texture before being bottled unfiltered.

Tasting Notes

In the glass, it displays a dense, near-opaque purple-black colour with a vibrant violet-crimson rim. The nose is intoxicating, intense, and deeply complex, opening with opulent scents of dark black cherries, wild blackberries, and plum preserve, seamlessly integrated with nuances of crushed violets, dark chocolate, tobacco leaf, truffle, and sweet cedar wood. On the palate, it is full-bodied, rich, and mouth-coating, offering incredible concentration balanced by effortless grace, fine-grained tannins, and a fresh beam of minerality that carries into a long, hauntingly beautiful finish.

Perfect Pairings

With its opulent structure, refined tannins, and complex dark fruit profile, this rare Pomerol is a crowning choice for fine dining and special occasions. It pairs magnificently with roasted fillet of beef with truffle jus, rack of milk-fed lamb, slow-braised venison loin, and roasted duck breast. It is also an extraordinary partner for wild mushroom tarts, roasted woodcock or pheasant, and mature hard cheeses like Comté or Saint-Nectaire.
