La Chimère de La Clarière 2021
A luscious La Clarière wine that breaks all the rules. Based on the old ‘Bordeaux Hermitagé’ tradition, this velvety voluptuous red combines La Clarière claret with blackberry-scented Rhône Syrah. All aged in cask, it’s dark, warming and moreish.

With a Bordeaux château of his own, Tony Laithwaite asked his winemaker Jean-Marc to make one to be at least as good (but thankfully at a fraction of the price). It’s a luscious blend of his Castillon claret with well-ripened, top-quality Rhône Syrah, all aged in cask.
