Product Notes

Baron Edmond de Rothschild's Chateau Clarke in Listrac-Médoc exudes an exquisite embodiment of Bordeaux's esteemed traditions. Made predominantly from Merlot grapes, it reveals a richly textured wine, brimming with robust fruity flavours of blackcurrant, cherry, and plum, masterfully mellowed by hints of savoury spices and smoky oak. Matured meticulously in French oak barrels, the wine offers a luxurious, full-bodied experience with a lingering finish that speaks volumes of its heritage. Exceptionally balanced and intensely flavoured, this fine French wine is a testament to Rothschild's respected reputation in the winemaking industry.

Tasting Notes

Château Clarke is a beautiful crimson color with a deep purple edge. Both intense and complex, the nose displays fresh fruit aromas (black currant and black cherry) and elegant oak nuances, as well as hints of menthol and liquorice with aeration. The wine starts out round and straightforward and follows with rich, concentrated and velvety tannic texture along with beautiful acidity that provides balance and freshness.
