Description
Clos René is a renowned wine producer located in the prestigious Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux, France. With a rich history dating back several centuries, this estate has established itself as one of the finest producers of red wines in the world.
The history of Clos René can be traced back to the 18th century when the property was acquired by the Garde family. Over the years, the estate has been passed down through generations, each contributing their expertise and passion to the production of exceptional wines. Today, Clos René is owned and managed by the Garde brothers, who continue the family tradition of crafting wines of unparalleled quality.

This terroir imparts a distinct character to the wines, characterized by their elegance, complexity, and velvety texture.
