Flavour Profile
Rioja is famous for its mature, complex red wines and the Reservas and Gran Reservas are the best of the best. With 17 years’ age, Altos R Gran Reserva 2009 showcases the amazing complexity of a long-aged Rioja.
Bordeaux-born Jean-Marc Sauboua has long been our Trophy-winning winemaker at Château La Clarière. In 2006, he started a winery of his own and, with Spanish blood, decided Rioja was his destination. His aim: to make a Grand Cru of Rioja. The old vines lie above 700 metres, some of the highest in Rioja, to ensure an elegant style.
Jean-Marc has won so many medals since 2006 that we’ve lost count. He’s taken home ‘Winery of the Year’, ‘Rioja of the Year’, ‘Best in Show Crianza Rioja’ and many more.
To make this lavish Gran Reserva, he selected grapes from ancient vines and long aged the wine in French oak barriques. It offers layers of mature dark berries, hints of raspberry, mocha and chocolate, with a long toasty oak finish.
