Clarendelle Bordeaux Rouge 2017 is defined by maturity, harmony and finesse. Time has softened the structure, revealing a wine where fruit, oak and tertiary nuances move effortlessly together. Rather than power or extraction, it offers textural smoothness, aromatic complexity and immediate drinkability — qualities that make mature Bordeaux especially compelling.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby with soft garnet reflections. The nose opens gracefully with blackcurrant, ripe plum and red cherry, layered with subtle cedar, tobacco leaf and gentle spice.
On the palate, the wine feels supple and polished. Dark berry fruit and delicate earthy undertones unfold across a silky, well-integrated frame. Tannins are smooth and resolved, allowing freshness and maturity to coexist beautifully. The finish is elegant and lingering, with hints of spice and refined oak.
Food Pairing
Clarendelle Bordeaux Rouge 2017 pairs seamlessly with roast lamb, grilled steak, duck breast and mushroom-based dishes. Its softened tannins and layered maturity also complement aged cheeses and herb-roasted poultry, enhancing both richness and savoury depth.
