The producer
Producing only 2000 cases per vintage, demand for Clos du Clocher remains consistently high. Established in 1924 by Jean-Baptiste Audy, now overseen by his great-grandson Jean-Baptiste Bourotte, who has modernized the estate with new facilities including an underground, air-conditioned barrel room. Situated on prime clay and gravel parcels on the Pomerol plateau, its four key vineyard plots benefit from optimal locations. Renowned consultant Michel Rolland advises head winemaker Cécile Dupuis, ensuring quality at every step.
