Clarendelle 2014 Ros Bordeaux France

Description

The Clarendelle brand comes from Domaine Clarence Dillon, owner of the world famous Château Haut-Brion. It was established by Prince Robert of Luxembourg, the great-grandson of Clarence Dillon himself and now President of Domaine Clarence Dillon. Influenced by the clairets of old, Clarendelle is the first premium rosé in the company’s history. The Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes for this vintage were harvested in ideal conditions during a hot “Indian summer,” perfectly ripened in what will be remembered as a very good year in Bordeaux. Drawn off from the vats after a short maceration, this elegant rosé is fruit-forward, fragrant and well-balanced. Beautifully pink in color, the 2014 offers intense aromas of blackcurrant, passion fruit and wild strawberry. It’s silky and lively on the palate, and delivers an inviting freshness.
