Decanter World Wine Awards "Very fresh and peachy aromas on the nose. Broad and oily, lively and delicious, rich finish."

Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider "This fresh, lively gem already hits the spot with all its ripe citrus, flowers and gentle touch of honey. This is a perfect summer poolside wine." (2019 vintage)

Winemaker "Ronan By Clinet Blanc offers a bright golden hue, as a pleasant introduction to a fine wine. Hints of yuzu, grapefruit, white flowers, passion fruit, a succession of aromas, all promising freshness, elegance and complexity."

70% Sauvignon Blanc, 30% Sémillon

Ronan by Clinet is part of the famous Château Clinet, the historic domaine of Pomerol whose roots go back to Medieval times. In 2009, the owner Ronan and his wife decided to create a new Bordeaux wine that balanced seduction with precision, produced by Clinet in partnership with conscientious growers. This was the beginning of Ronan by Clinet, a collection available in three colours. We carry the white wine which offers the liveliness of the Sauvignon Blanc (70%) and the roundness of the Semillon (30%) to deliver an intense and very fresh wine.

Bordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious and prolific wine regions. Its three trump cards are diversity, quality and quantity. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90 percent of production volume) are the dry, medium- and full-bodied red Bordeaux Blends that established its reputation. The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The legendary reds are complemented by high-quality white wines, both dry styles (particularly from Pessac-Léognan) and the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.

Sauvignon Blanc – Semillon is a classic white wine blend. It is most widely produced in France, most notably Bordeaux's Graves district, where both Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon are well-established varieties. It also has more recently caught on in Australia, particularly Margaret River. The versatile blend is typically made into crisp, dry wines, but it is also the blend of choice for the world's most prestigious sweet wine style, Sauternes. The blend is endowed with vibrant acidity and grassy aromas by Sauvignon Blanc, and its structure and mouthfeel from Semillon. This blend is a modern, simplified version of the classic White Bordeaux Blend, in which Muscadelle, Sauvignon Gris, Ugni Blanc, Colombard and Merlot Blanc may be added to the mix.
