Clos Rene 2015 Pomerol《ZF185B》

The Clos Rene winery is located in the Pomerol appellation of the Bordeaux region in France and is one of the oldest wineries in this region. The earliest historical record of Clos Rene Winery can be traced back to the 18th century. The winery was established in 1734, and the foreign name adopted at that time was "Reney". In 1880, Chateau Clos Rene made a slight modification to the wine label design, adding the original architectural drawing of the chateau to the label design. In the 1940s, for a considerable period of time, the winery was owned by Pierre Lasserre, who was responsible for its operation and management. Today, the Clos Rene winery is jointly owned by the Garde family and the Lasserre family.

Clos Rene winery is one of the latest wineries in the Pomerol region to start bottling on its own. In the early 20th century, many wineries in the Pomerol region would place their finished wines in large-capacity oak barrels, transport them to specialized bottling sites, and then have them bottled by specialized bottling merchants. By 1970, this practice had largely vanished from people's sight, and in its place, various wineries began to bottle their own bottles within the wineries. It was not until the mid-to-late 1990s that the Clos Rene winery began to implement bottling within the winery.

The current vineyard area of Clos Rene Winery is 12 hectares. Among them, 70% of the land is used for Merlot, 20% is for Cabernet Franc, and 10% is for Malbec.

The average age of these grapes in the vineyard is 35 years, and the planting density is 5,500 plants per hectare.
