Le Clos du Beau-Pere Pomerol 2018
This impressive young Bordeaux features initial aromas of cherries, sweet berries, and rose petals leading to cigar leaf and baking spices. Full-bodied, ample and concentrated, it’s seamless and layered, with lively acids, powdery tannins and a vibrant, beautifully balanced profile. – September 2023
Le Clos du Beau-Pere Winery
In 2006, Jean Luc Thunevin, better known for his numerous successful estates in St.
Emilion like Valandraud, purchased a little-known Pomerol property, Chateau Ratouin,
as the name implies was owned by the Ratouin family.
After their purchase of the vineyard, Jean Luc Thunevin renamed the estate to honor the
father of his long-time partner and wife, Murielle Andraud. They changed it to Le Clos
du Beau Pere, which can be translated into "father in law."
