We have made a beautiful blend in this vintage, taking advantage of powerful wines with a great balance between alcohol and acidity. Not only the Merlot, but also the Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes reached perfect maturity with regard to sugar and tannin. The wine has a brilliant, intense red colour. The nose is redolent of black fruit (Burlat cherry, plum) and beautiful floral aromas. These fruity flavours carry over to the palate, which also features peppery and spicy notes. The wine has an elegant, fine-grained tannic structure. The aftertaste is fresh, long, and fruity. The wine is altogether well-balanced and elegant. We are very proud of our first vintage of Clarendelle Saint-Emilion!
