American financier Clarence Dillon visited Bordeaux in 1934 and fell in love with world famous Château Haut-Brion. The estate wasn’t then in peak form, but that didn’t put him off one iota. Certain it was the jewel of Bordeaux, he bought it and so started his family’s long commitment to the region and fine wine. In 1983 they purchased La Mission Haut-Brion, next door, and the family have since extended their portfolio to other areas of Bordeaux. Clarendelle is the initiative of Clarence Dillon’s great grandson, Prince Robert de Luxembourg. It’s a premium blend Bordeaux that expresses the very best of the vintage. The bar was set particularly high in ‘vintage of the century’ 2010, of course. Only just released, it’s now ready for drinking.

"From owners of Premier Cru Classé Château Haut-Brion, this claret shows off the magnificence of 2010" Jean-Marc Sauboua
