Clarendelle Medoc 2014
75cl / 13%
“I am always on the lookout for classic Médocs and the Clarendelle is a model citizen in the genre.
This wine is rich, mouthcoating, and balanced. Its aromas and flavors of black fruits, cigar box, and rustic earth should pair nicely with a rack of lamb.”
Clarendelle Medoc, influenced by the acclaimed Haut-Brion, is a refined and sophisticated red wine. Similar to other esteemed Medocs, it tends to be tannic in its youth and gains equilibrium with age. This wine is a harmonious mix of the classic Bordeaux grape varieties: Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, it conveys all the nuances and personality of its origin, terroir.

History of Clarendelle
In 1934, Clarence Dillon discovered the opportunity of a lifetime in Chateau Haut-Brion – a tarnished but elegant and fabled estate that had struggled with high maintenance costs and meager returns. He entered into negotiations to acquire the estate and upon receiving a telegram while on a ship to the United States, he quickly responded “”Act Fast!”” This began a long family commitment to the estate and the wines of Bordeaux. The creation of Clarendelle, a brand from Clarence Dillon Wines, honors this ancestor and aims to extract the best from the region’s potential and knowledge, producing wines representative of their heritage and provenance.
Clarendelle’s name thus pays homage to the ancestor who brought the family to this region. In creating Clarendelle the team from Clarence Dillon Wines and their colleagues at Domaine Clarence Dillon, wish to discover and extract the best from the enormous potential and savoir-faire that this region and terroir provide.
