About Winery
Clos René is an established Pomerol estate with roots tracing back to the mid-18th century, known as "Reney" at its inception. The estate is co-owned by the Garde and Lasserre families, with Jean-Marie Garde managing operations. The winery is particularly notable for its relatively late adoption of bottling wines at the estate, a practice that was common among Pomerol producers until the late 1970s.
