The old vineyard of Clarendelle in Saint Emilion

In the heart of the renowned Saint-Émilion wine region lie the ancient vines of Clarendelle. Thanks to extensive aging and extensive work in the vineyards, the vineyard is poised to produce exceptional harvests. This vintage was another success, with the vines producing the finest Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes. These two grape varieties nourish this red wine and are harvested entirely by hand. The grapes are brought in with the utmost precision and craftsmanship, after which they await a long aging period of up to 36 months in Clarendelle's cellars. Some of the oak used is new, giving this red Saint-Émilion even more body and structure. The end result is truly phenomenal.

The smell and taste of the Clarendelle Saint Emilion

The bottle itself is quite stately and suggests we're dealing with a Saint-Émilion sweet. Well, that sweet is a real treat, because this red wine is truly exquisite. The aroma offers a wide range of aromas, including ripe cherry, plum, and a touch of fig. If you let the wine breathe, it also reveals nuances of light spice, a touch of vanilla, and floral notes. The taste is typical of a Saint-Émilion, very smooth on the palate with a lovely presence of black fruit. It also offers notes of refined spices, cocoa, and beautiful, elegant tannins that give this red Clarendelle Saint-Émilion a long, lingering finish.
