Varietal Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

The 2017 La Clotte shows terrific energy, just as it did from barrel, in the mid-weight style of the year. Red cherry, red plum, flowers, blood orange, mint and bright saline notes give the 2017 lovely tension to match its mid-weight personality. This is such a pretty and expressive Saint-Émilion, not to mention one of the under-the-radar gems of the year. It is a very pretty, supple and sensual Merlot-based wine.

A blend of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc, the 2017 La Clotte displays a medium to deep garnet-purple color. It charges out of the gate with bold cassis, plum preserves and kirsch scents plus nuances of mocha, cardamom and tar with a waft of aniseed. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers plenty of invigorating, energetic fruit with very well-managed, plush tannins and a nice, long spicy finish.

This wine is dense, but with the intense fruit that is a sign of the vintage. It offers crispness as well as depth, with attractive acidity and medium-term aging potential. Drink this wine from 2022.

Now owned by the Vaultiers for four years, this estate continues to rise above its previous incarnation. It's very much a success in this vintage, with no frost affecting the 4ha of vines. They don't wait as long to harvest as the previous owners did. This wine has that wonderful curling in on itself that young limestone wines display, with an austerity but also an upward climb. It's lovely and ripe, but not overly so, with firm damson and black cherry flavours and great freshness, emphasised by some mint leaf notes. It's fairly austere, with good grip. 100% new oak. From vines with an average age of 54. In about six years time they will have more Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, but not yet. Drinking Window 2025 - 2038.

Based largely on Merlot (there’s 10% each of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc), the 2017 Chateau La Clotte offers a vivid ruby/purple color as well as bright raspberry and cherry fruits interwoven with lots of cedar and sappy, green herbs. Showing more floral nuances with time in the glass, it’s medium-bodied, balanced, and just a fresh, classic Bordeaux that should evolve for 8-10 years.
