In details

Ranking notes: James Suckling 92/100

Clarendelle Medoc, Inspired by Haut-Brion, is a delicate and elegant red wine. Like the great Medocs, often quite tannic when young, it becomes more balanced with age. Clarendelle Medoc, Inspired by Haut-Brion, is a subtle blend of two traditional grape varieties from Bordeaux: Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. We find in this wine all the complexity and character of its terroir.

The producer

Clarendelle

Created in 2005 by Prince Robert of Luxembourg, the Clarendelle family of wines, Inspired by Haut-Brion, embodies the subtle balance between know-how and a resolutely contemporary expression of the French art de vivre. A member of the eminent Domaine Clarence Dillon family of wines (Haut-Brion, La Mission Haut-Brion & Quintus), the style of the Clarendelle wines is dictated by an expression of the Bordeaux terroir which aims to produce subtle elegance in age-worthy wines. The wines are cellared and only released to the market when they are deemed fully ready to be enjoyed by the consumer. Clarendelle was also born into a culture deeply rooted in a century of prestigious estate wine blending, benefitting from the expertise and knowhow of a First Growth winemaking team. Every year, we revisit the blends in order to reflect only the finest parcels of wine in each individual vintage resulting from long-term partnerships with local winegrowers, attentive to environmental issues. The red wines come primarily from the Saint-Émilion the Haut-Medoc, and the Pessac-Leognan regions (including the Domaine Clarence Dillon estates). The white wines come mainly from the Graves region (including Pessac-Leognan). Like the Haut-Brion wines, Clarendelle offers its assurance by representing an uncompromising quality and consistency with every vintage. “As a young man, living in London, I had neither a cellar nor a significant budget that would allow me to store and acquire classified growths from Bordeaux. I loved the wines from this region and my tastes had been greatly influenced by my annual stays at Château Haut-Brion. I was looking for fine blended wines with some bottle age, an authentic reflection of the South West terroirs and marked by the unique originality of each vintage. They needed to be affordable and dependable while nonetheless displaying complexity, elegance and balance. This is how the Clarendelle family of wines was conceived and ultimately born. My family and I enjoy these wines just as much and as frequently today, as we did with our very first vintage…the 2002 Red that we introduced to the market in late 2005.” H.R.H Prince Robert de Luxembourg
