About the vineyard
Over 40 years ago, Tony Laithwaite received a call from his mentor, the man who taught him everything about winemaking. The question was simple yet profound: would Tony take over Château La Clarière and prove to the world that Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux wines could rival those of the renowned Saint-Émilion? After all, both regions share the same prized limestone ridge.
Today, with over 90 Gold medals and four Trophies to its name, Tony believes they are on their way to proving just that. But this success has not been achieved alone. It is thanks to the unwavering support of his loyal customers, his Confrères…
The wine:
Since 1986, Confrères have subscribed to a case of La Clarière in advance, ensuring vital investments could be made to the estate. Thanks to this support, La Clarière has become one of the most successful vineyards in Castillon, setting a benchmark for the region.
Tony’s visionary approach has inspired top Bordeaux figures, including Stéphane Derenoncourt at Domaine de L’A, Jean-Luc Thunevin of Valandraud, Stephan Graf von Neipperg at Château d'Aiguilhe, and Jacques Thienpont of Le Pin. Yet, La Clarière led the way.
