WEINWISSER: "delikates Bouquet, frischer Schattenmorellensaft, gehackter Thymian, edle dunkle Würze. Am vielschichtigen Gaumen mit vibrierender Rasse, reifer Extraktfülle und trainiertem Körper. Im konzentrierten, aromatischen, langen Finale mit enormen Zug, stützender dunkler Mineralik, man hat das Gefühl das kleine Steine auf der Zunge liegen. Besticht dieses Jahr durch Ausdauer und Kraft und gefällt mir noch besser als der Vorgänger letztes Jahr."

DECANTER: "Lovely perfume aromatics, the Cabernet shining, delicate floral aspects with some dark berry fruit aromas. Pure and finely presented, seamless and gentle. Not super demonstrative or plush, but this has silky tannins and cool fresh minty blue fruit too. Lots of gravel minerality comes through giving this a nice signature. Really finessed. Balanced, lightly framed but nonetheless charming. Gentle mouthwatering acidity. Still flavoured on the finish, this is a complex wine and well made. Harvest started 25th September, finished on the 2nd October. Ageing 33% new French oak barrels. A yield of 30hl/ha. 3.72pH."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Like walking into a flower shop with cherries and plums scattered across the floor, the wine is silky, pure, elegant, and fresh. There are hints of chocolate, plums, and black cherries, along with truffles and a touch of salt on the backend of the refined, graceful, medium-bodied palate. This is an insider's secret Pomerol. The production averages only 500 cases per vintage. If you are a fan of Pomerol and want to try something new, check it out. The wine blends 80% Merlot, with 20% Cabernet Franc.13.5% ABV. Guillaume Thienpont of Vieux Chateau Certan is in charge of the estate. Drink from 2029-2042."

JEB DUNNUCK: "Based on 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, the 2024 Château Guillot-Clauzel comes from a gravelly site just beside Le Pin and is aging in 30% new French oak. Its solid ruby hue is followed by an incredibly pure Pomerol with a gravelly, mineral character as well as ripe red and black fruits, leafy herbs, tobacco, and sappy flowers. It's balanced, medium-bodied, has a remarkable sense of purity, and solid tannins."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Offering up aromas of dark berries, fruitcake, loamy soil and mint, the 2024 Guillot Clauzel is medium-bodied, ample and supple, with a lively, enveloping core of fruit and a charming profile. It's a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc."
