					<description><![CDATA[The vineyards around Chateau de Clotte may date back to the 13th century, while the chateau was built in 1782 by Mr. Roy de Clotte, after whom the estate is named. The current owner is Bruno Laporte, who purchased the chateau in 2002 and also owns a number of other properties in the area.

The blend of 4 varieties in the 2016 vintage gives the wine complexity. Merlot brings aromas of red fruit and silky tannins. Cabernet Franc gives the wine a distinctive color and aroma of black fruit, while Cabernet Sauvignon balances with character and structure. Finally Malbec adds a hint of spice, which is enhanced by aging in oak barrels.

<strong>VARIETALS</strong>
60% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec

<strong>VINTAGE</strong>
2016
