Clarendelle Medoc 2019

Clarendelle Médoc 2019 is an elegant and approachable Bordeaux red blend crafted by Clarence Dillon Wines, sharing the same prestigious winemaking team as Château Haut-Brion. Pouring a dark ruby with subtle violet reflections, it opens with an inviting bouquet of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and fresh blueberries, beautifully intertwined with nuanced notes of chocolate, roasted hazelnuts, and delicate earthy spices. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, round, and remarkably vibrant, delivering a generous core of juicy dark fruits and cassis supported by finely textured, polished tannins and a refreshing acidity. It culminates in a creamy, savory, and well-balanced finish marked by a subtle, appealing minerality.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with grilled beef tenderloin, roasted duck breast, slow-braised venison, earthy wild mushroom risotto, and aged firm cheeses like Comté.
