Rated 90 by Decanter
A beguiling fragrance of floral violet scents alongside black cherries and blackcurrants with soft menthol nuances. Supple and succulent, this has life and energy straight away with bright acidity and a push of red and black fruits edged by a mineral, wet stone tang. Tannins are so fine, really well integrated giving a medium-bodied frame with a soft velvet, powdery texture on the finish. Gently deep and persistent with lots of freshness throughout. Approachable and in a lovely drinking window.
Wine Spectator
Fresh and ripe, featuring cassis and bitter plum fruit, lined with light herb and chalk hints. Accessible now. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Drink now. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 87,000 cases made.
Winery
Clarendelle, Inspired by Haut-Brion. This wine's paramount feature is its freshness thanks to good acidity that underlines its intrinsic fruitiness. It is very well-balanced and has a brilliant, intense, ruby-red colour. The nose is complex and fruity, with tangy redcurrant and blueberry aromas. The tannin is elegant and silky. The acidity on the palate perfectly complements the attractive fruit and confers an attractive lightness. There is a long aftertaste with a beautiful fruity finish.

Varietal: Red Bordeaux

Bordeaux red wines are widely regarded as being the finest red wines produced anywhere in the world, regularly topping awards lists and generally being amongst the most sought after and collectable bottles available. The secret to their success and their particularly memorable and refined characteristics is the fact that Bordeaux red wines are made from a blend of grape varietals, most commonly from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes, helped by a touch of Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc. The other two key Bordeaux grape varietals which are also used in the blend of many of these excellent wines are Malbec and Carménere, although it is becoming less common to see these in use today. The art of blending primarily Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grape varietals is something which has been much imitated around the world, as it produces a wonderfully balanced, rounded yet massively complex and flavorful wine, ideal for oak aging The acid and tannin levels in each of these grape varietals is balanced and tempered by the blend, and generations of expertise has gone into the careful selection and cultivation of such quality grapes.

Region: Bordeaux

There are few wine regions in the world with a reputation as glowing and well established as that of the Bordeaux, in France. Situated mainly around the Dordogne and Gironde rivers, Bordeaux makes the most of its humid climate and rich, clay and gravel based soils to grow some of the finest examples of red and white grape varietals on earth. Wineries in this region have been in operation for hundreds of years, and have carefully developed the expertise required for the production of carefully balanced and utterly delicious blended red and white wines, alongside some exceptional single variety bottles. Many of the chateaux found in Bordeaux have become household names, due to their prestige and the excellence of their products, grown with love and dedication by heritage wineries in this beautiful and special region.

Country: France

It is widely understood and accepted that the finest wines in the world come out of France. Whether you are drinking a vintage bottle from one of the famed Grand Cru wineries of Bordeaux - such as Chateau Margaux or Chateau Lafite-Rothschild - or a more simple and affordable bottle from one of the lesser known appellations in Burgundy, the likelihood is that the wine is packed full of intense and interesting flavors, and has a fine, balanced structure typical of almost all French produce. This reputation for excellence is taken extremely serious by the French, with dozens of regularly updated laws and regulations ensuring the quality and accurate labeling of wines. Such dedication and passion for fine wine, representative of the region in which it is produced, means customers can be assured that when they buy a bottle from France, they are buying something almost certain to please and delight.
