Bordeaux Clairet AOC

Grape VARIETIES AND WINEMAKING

Bordeaux Clairet : 50% cabernet franc, 50% merlot. A half-way house between a red and a rosé produced only in Bordeaux, Clairet is a descendent of the first wine ever produced in the region. Winemaking: left on the skins for about 72 hours in our pneumatic winepresses.

COLOUR

More deeply coloured than the rosé and more reminiscent of redcurrant or raspberry.

BOUQUET

Powerful Spice and red fruit (mainly raspberry) bouquet.

PALATE

Slightly more tannic structure than the rosé with greater body and vinosity. More refreshing than the red wine particularly in summer.

TASTING ADVICE

It is best enjoyed chilled within two years of the vintage with brightly-coloured starters, cold meats, salads, and exotic or spicy dishes such as tajines, couscous, and Mediterranean food. Bordeaux Clairet is also a treat with grilled meat, tapas, and cocktail nibbles. It is ideal with picnics and outdoor meals, and a pleasure all year long
