Enclos de la Clarière 2023
At Château La Clarière they're blessed with 50 different vineyard plots, all ideally situated on the superb limestone plateau from where both Saint-Émilion’s and Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux’s finest wines hail.
The grapes for Enclos de la Clarière come from a single vineyard, literally six metres from Saint-Émilion’s priciest Grands Crus Classés. It’s a stunning vineyard surrounded by hedgerows, shrubs and dotted with trees – its most biodiverse; farmed organically too. That results in grapes of immense depth and ripeness, yet with enough grip and freshness to lend classic structure.
Enclos is all Merlot, carefully fermented on the La Clarière estate, with a year’s ageing in part new and part seasoned French oak barrels. A very fine, velvety claret, open early and preferably decant. It will make a very handsome partner to roast red meats or a cheeseboard.
