Château Clauzet Saint-Estèphe AOC

Name: Château Clauzet Saint-Estèphe AOC - Vinumlector
SKU: FR0816

Château Clauzet is an estate located in the northern Médoc peninsula of Bordeaux, France, within the prestigious Saint-Estèphe AOC. The property is highly regarded for producing classic, deeply structured Left Bank Bordeaux wines that offer exceptional value compared to their classified growth neighbors.

The purchase of Château Clauzet completes a dynamic process that began in 2012 at Château La Haye and remains under the Belgian flag, passing into the hands of the Cardon family. Vines from specific plots of land will therefore be used in the production of the wine to guarantee its own identity, vintage after vintage and starting with the 2018 harvest.

Château Clauzet Saint-Estèphe 2012 is a classic Cru Bourgeois red Bordeaux blend, known for its structured, classic profile, and this vintage balances the natural power of Saint-Estèphe clay-gravel terroirs with the elegance of matured black fruit.
