Clos René - Pomerol | French Red Wine

Clos Rene is one of the older estates in Pomerol dating back to the mid 18th century. At the time of its birth in 1734, it went under the name of Reney. As you can see, the name was later changed to match its phonetic sound. The original chateau pictured on the label was constructed in 1880.

At some point in the early 1940s, Clos Rene was managed and co-owned by Pierre Lasserre. Pierre Lasserre was at the time in charge of managing the property for the Durantou family that would become Chateau LEglise Clinet.

Today, Clos Rene is owned by both the Garde family and the Lasserre family. Clos Rene was one of the last producers in Pomerol to bottle their own production. It was the normal practice during the early part of the 20th century for chateaux to deliver their wine in barrel to the negociants who did the bottling.
