From the same stable as crazy-priced, 1er Cru Haut-Brion, this is a claret of 5-Star pedigree. Wine Advocate described it as “well worth seeking out in terms of value and pleasure”. Premium Bordeaux in a top vintage. Fine balance and ample fruit.

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 of Luxembourg. It’s a premium blend Bordeaux that expresses the very best of the vintage – the excellent 2016. Largely Merlot, it offers rich berry fruit, with rounded tannins, and already makes very enjoyable drinking.
