Domaine Clarence Dillon, Clarendelle Rouge, AOC Bordeaux, France, 2018

Viticulture

The style of the Clarendelle wines is dictated by an expression of the Bordeaux terroir which aim to produce subtle elegance in age-worthy wines.

Winemaking

Born into a culture deeply rooted in a century of prestigious estate wine blending, Clarendelle benefits from the expertise and know how of a First Growth winemaking team and ageing in their state of the art eco friendly cellars. The wines are cellared and only released to the market when they are deemed fully ready to be enjoyed by the consumer.

Tasting Note

Radiating a brilliant, deep crimson hue, this wine captivates from the very first glance. The nose is rich with intense black fruit aromas, promising a truly indulgent experience. On the palate, powerful yet refined flavours of black cherry and blackcurrant unfold, complemented by delicate notes of liquorice and warming spice. Silky, elegant tannins – the result of gentle extraction – provide perfect balance and a luxuriously smooth mouthfeel, making this an effortlessly enjoyable and supremely elegant wine.
