Clarendelle Saint-Emilion Rouge 2021
KShs5,600 incl. of VAT
Clarendelle Saint-Émilion Rouge stands out for its approachability with pedigree. Merlot delivers roundness and generous fruit, while Cabernet Franc adds lift and aromatic definition. Limestone influence brings freshness and shape, giving the wine direction without firmness.
Guided by the same philosophy as the Clarence Dillon estates, this wine prioritises harmony, texture and clarity, offering a Saint-Émilion that feels refined, welcoming and consistently enjoyable.
Tasting Notes
Pale salmon-pink with bright, silvery highlights. The nose is clean and understated, revealing wild strawberry, redcurrant and citrus peel, supported by subtle floral notes.
On the palate, the wine is crisp and fluid. Fresh red berries and grapefruit tones move smoothly across a fine, refreshing frame. Acidity is precise rather than sharp, carrying the wine into a dry, clean finish that feels poised and quietly refreshing.
Food Pairing
This rosé adapts effortlessly at the table. It pairs beautifully with grilled fish, shellfish, light salads, charcuterie and vegetable-forward dishes. Its freshness also makes it an excellent aperitif, easing naturally into warm afternoons, casual lunches or relaxed evening starts.
Description
Clarendelle Saint-Émilion Rouge reflects the Clarence Dillon approach to elegance and accessibility. It draws from the limestone-influenced terroirs of Saint-Émilion, shaping a wine that feels polished and composed rather than powerful.
The 2021 vintage favoured freshness and definition. In this wine, that translates to clarity of fruit, controlled structure and natural balance, making it a refined introduction to Saint-Émilion character without the weight or severity of more concentrated Grand Crus.
