The Wine
At Château La Clarière they're blessed with 50 different vineyard plots, all ideally situated on the superb limestone plateau from where both Saint-Emilion’s and Castillon’s finest wines hail. However, the grapes from the Enclos single vineyard, literally two metres from Saint-Emilion’s priciest Grands Crus Classés, have always been kept separate. It’s a vineyard surrounded by hedgerows, shrubs and dotted with trees – its most biodiverse; farmed organically too. All Merlot, carefully fermented on the estate, with regular plunge down and a year’s ageing in part new and part seasoned French oak barrels, it’s a very fine, velvety claret. Open early and preferably decant. It will make a very handsome partner to roast red meats or a cheeseboard.
"New release from La Clarière – sumptuous single vineyard, all Merlot and organic – luscious claret"
Jean-Marc Sauboua
Fabulous, single-vineyard Bordeaux from a plot right next door to Saint-Emilion Grands Crus Classés
