Château Clarke takes its name from the Irish family who bought this estate in 1771. After more than two centuries of wine growing tradition and successive owners, the property was purchased by Baron Edmond de Rothschild in 1973. The vineyard was completely restructured and massive investments were undertaken in order to renovate buildings and improve wine making and storage facilities. With a passion for excellence and the best things in life, the Baron made Clarke a benchmark for the whole region.

Tasting Notes
Beautiful dark purple with some light tile-red tints. The aroma is complex and expressive, with finely smoked leather and liquorice notes. After aerating, the aromatic pallet is enhanced by blackcurrant, plum brandy, pepper and spices notes. On the palate, there is an attack, which gives birth at the same time to suppleness and amplitude, followed by a dense and gorgeous mouth. The finish offers quite a nice structure with a delicious and aromatic persistency.
Pairing
Beef and venison
