Enclos de la Clarière 2021
Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux AOC
Loading...
If you love the sumptuous velvety black fruit and oaky complexity of Saint-Emilion’s finest Grands Crus Classés, but not the price tag, try a bottle of Enclos. All Merlot, it’s from a single vineyard right next door, lavishly cask-aged to perfection.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
The Story Behind the Bottle
At Château La Clarière they're blessed with 50 different vineyard plots, all ideally situated on the superb limestone plateau from where both Saint-Emilion’s and Castillon’s finest wines hail. However, the grapes from the Enclos single vineyard, literally two metres from Saint-Emilion’s priciest Grands Crus Classés, have always been kept separate. It’s a vineyard surrounded by hedgerows, shrubs and dotted with trees – its most biodiverse; farmed organically too. All Merlot, carefully fermented on the estate, with regular plunge down and a year’s ageing in part new and part seasoned French oak barrels, it’s a very fine, velvety claret. Open early and preferably decant. It will make a very handsome partner to roast red meats or a cheeseboard.
