About Clarendelle 2014 Medoc Bordeaux, Clarence Dillon
Inspired by Haut-Brion, this elegant red Bordeaux is produced by the owners of that historic Chateau. Clarence Dillon purchased the estate in 1935 and his family has been in command ever since. Meanwhile they have branched out and acquired other winegrowing estates in Bordeaux and around the world, but their roots are firmly planted in Bordeaux which is why Clarendelle was an obvious next step. And with it they've created an affordable, fine quality Bordeaux wine for every day. They chose the outstanding 2014 vintage, to launch this wine, their Medoc Red. The grapes were sourced from top vineyards on Bordeaux' Left Bank and the wine making is overseen from start to finish by Clarence Dillon's great-grandson, Prince Robert de Luxembourg and his team that produces the Haut-Brion and Mission Haut-Brion wines. A blend of 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and styled for current enjoyment this rich Bordeaux Medoc is a stunning value.
Antonio Galloni said about this wine "The 2014 Médoc is the most exciting and complete of the three négociant wines I tasted from Clarence Dillon. Expressive savory, floral and leather aromatics lead into a core of dark stone fruit, licorice and new French oak. Hearty and bold, with good depth and solid balance, the 2014 will drink well for at least a few years."
James Suckling scored it 92 points and said "A very pretty wine with chocolate, spices, cedar and forest floor. Always subtle and complex. Medium body and very fine tannins. Fresh and savory. Drink now."
