About the Producer

Classic, critically acclaimed Pomerol château, located near the church on the central plateau. The château has only 4.6 hectares, and this has created a great international demand. Clos du Clocher was founded in 1924 by Jean Baptiste Audy, who started with a microscopic cultivation plot near the church in the town, on the central plateau. The best vines are planted a stone's throw from the coal châteaux La Fleur Petrus and Trotanoy. Michel Rolland is a consulting oenologist and has contributed to the great quality improvement that has occurred since the 2000s. In 2010, the cellar was completely renovated and is now state-of-the-art.
