Château Clauzet Saint-Estèphe AOC

Château Clauzet is a classic red Bordeaux blend from the Saint-Estèphe appellation in the Médoc.

While 2013 was a challenging vintage for red Bordeaux across the board, critics generally describe Clauzet 2013 as a successful, mid-weight wine with the firm structure typical of its region.

The 2017 vintage is particularly notable as it was the final one produced under the 20-year ownership of Baron Velge before the estate was sold to Jacky Lorenzetti  and the integration of Château Clauzet within the structure of Château La Haye.
