About this wine
Le Clarence is the second wine of Château Haut-Brion, named after Clarence Dillon, the American banker who bought the estate in 1935 and whose family owns it still.
Decant an hour before pouring.
Tasting notes
A deep ruby cloak. Aromas ranging from red and black fruit to cedar and tobacco. The palate is a tapestry of elegance, where velvety tannins cradle dark cherry, savoury herbs and a touch of earth, leading to a polished and lingering finish. It carries the smoky, earthy Pessac-Léognan signature of the Grand Vin in a lighter, earlier-drinking form, which makes it the sensible way to meet Haut-Brion without waiting twenty years.
Goes with
Roast game birds, beef, lamb, truffle dishes, and aged cheeses.

The producer
Château Haut-Brion is the oldest of the great Bordeaux estates and the only property outside the Médoc included in the 1855 classification of first growths.
