    About Clarendelle 2016 White Bordeaux, Clarence Dillon

    Inspired by Haut-Brion, this exceptional white 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. This white shows its pedigree and its panache. 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, this classy Bordeaux starts with a small percentage of wine from those venerable estates enhanced with other quality selections. While most white wines are made from a single grape varietal, Clarendelle White is a skillful blend of the three traditional Bordeaux varietals; 47% Sémillon, 42% Sauvignon Blanc and 11% Muscadelle. The art of assemblage combines the best traits of these three varietals to produce a unique and harmonious wine. 2016 was an outstanding vintage and Antonio Galloni said about this wine "The 2016 Clarendelle Blanc is a tasty white to drink now and over the next year or two, while the citrus and floral notes remain fresh. A dollop (10 percent) of Muscadelle adds midpalate weight and a lovely exotic flair. Best of all, the 2016 should be a terrific value." and James Suckling scored this wine 90 points saying "Dense and fruity wine with cooked apples and pears. Medium-bodied, round-textured and fruity white Bordeaux. Very pretty. Drink now." On Sale!!
