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 2023 La Clotte comes from the vines opposite Ausone. Beautiful violet and rose petal scents on the very expressive bouquet that is almost Vosne-like in style! The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannins, finely pitched acidity, very sensual and precise with a simmering tension on the finish. This is a superb La Clotte that deserves not to remain in the shadow of Ausone.

Deep purple-hued, the 2023 Château La Clotte offers a rocking nose of cassis, classy oak, graphite, flint, and exotic flowers. Based on 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc from a terraced hillside of 58-year-old vines and brought up 18 months in new barrels, it's medium-bodied, pure, and balanced, with nicely integrated oak, ripe tannins, and a great finish. I'd be thrilled to have bottles in the cellar, and it will keep for a solid two decades. Drink 2026-2045.

92-94+ 2023 La Clotte has a gorgeous almost voluptuous nose, very nice and velvety, sprouting with sweet cherries. The taste is round and classy with fine peppery tannins and a long cassis filled cherry like aftertaste. This is a very good glass of wine that should offer great drinking at an early stage.

Wine Advocate

Oakier and toastier than usual—and than expected—the 2023 La Clotte opens with aromas of spices, dark berries, flowers and gentian. Medium- to full-bodied, structured and layered, it shows a tangy, lively mid-palate and concludes with a long, saline and ethereal finish. The blend comprises 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc.
