Clarence Dillon WinesClarendelle rouge inspiré par Haut-Brion 2016

About this wine

The Clarendelle is a beautiful introduction to the art of Bordeaux blending, crafted under the watchful eye of Domaine Clarence Dillon, the legendary estate behind Château Haut-Brion. This 2016 vintage brings together the classic trio of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc in a wine that's approachable yet sophisticated, perfect for discovering what makes Bordeaux so special.

On the nose, you'll find ripe blackcurrant and plum notes, with hints of cedar and a touch of tobacco. The palate is smooth and well-structured, with soft tannins that make it enjoyable now, though it has the backbone to age gracefully for a few more years. The finish is elegant and persistent, with dark fruit flavors lingering pleasantly.

This is your go-to wine for a Sunday roast beef or a hearty beef bourguignon. It also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses like Comté or a classic steak frites. Serve at 16-18°C to let all the flavors shine through. If you want to elevate the experience, decant it for 30 minutes before serving to open up the aromas.
