A new Bordeaux genre

Ronan by Clinet is an approachable wine that reflects the style and savoir-faire of a prestigious Pomerol winery. It is a fresh, fruit-forward and delicately spiced wine, ready to drink now or age for several years – the perfect choice for a spontaneous after-work treat or a dinner party with friends.

The CLINET style

Branded under the Bordeaux appellation, Ronan by Clinet is a vision of a new Bordeaux genre. This 100% merlot wine is crafted by the team from Château CLINET in our new, state-of-the art winery located in the heart of Pomerol.

How We Source

Terroir-driven, Ronan by Clinet wines are sourced carefully from selected properties situated close to our Pomerol chais in appellations that include Côtes de Castillon, Côtes de Bourg, Lussac St-Emilion and Bordeaux.

The Tasting Experience

Ronan by Clinet is bright ruby in colour, delicately spiced and fruit-forward with aromas of cherry, raspberry and blackcurrant. It is a soft and fresh wine with a balanced texture and a persistent, flavoursome finish.

The construction of our new winery

The construction of a building and the accomplishment of a dream. This incredible project lasted 16 months but here you can watch it in 6 minutes.

The grand opening of our new winery

On the evening of 29th October 2015, we celebrated with 250 guests the inauguration of our new winery entirely dedicated to Ronan By Clinet.

CLINET is also served in Paradise

CLINET wines were showcased at a gourmet weekend organised by the Shangri-La Boracay resort and spa in partnership with BACCHUS WINES INTERNATIONAL.

The name behind the wine

RONAN BY CLINET was created in 2009 by Ronan Laborde, CEO of Château CLINET in Pomerol. In 2015, the team at CLINET placed this project firmly on the map with the construction of a new winery in the heart of Pomerol, dedicated entirely to RONAN BY CLINET, and designed to manage every stage of production from the receipt of the grapes to the shipping of the bottles.
