Clarendelle Wines

Sort By:

Clarendelle 2003 Red (Bordeaux)

Price $22

As befits its provenance from the hands of the winemaking team of Château Haut-Brion, this is a solid, finely crafted wine, flavored with mint and layers of wood as well as red plums. With these tannins, it could even age a year or 2. — R.V. (11/1/2007)

Clarendelle 2003 Amberwine White (Monbazillac)

Online Exclusive

From the sweet white appellation of the Bergerac region, this is a full, botrytis-dominated wine, opulent, layered with dryness to balance the citrus and honey flavors. Maybe without complexity, but certainly with all the right botrytis wine characters. — R.V. (11/15/2008)

Clarendelle 2006 White (Bordeaux Blanc)

The branded wine made by the Château Haut-Brion winemaking team is named after Clarence Dillon, who bought the chateau in 1935. This white is soft, creamy, with yellow and white fruits. It is easy, cleanly fresh, ready to drink now. — R.V. (7/1/2009)

Clarendelle 2005 White (Bordeaux Blanc)

Online Exclusive

Price $22

The white partner in the quartet of Clarendelle wines from the owners of Château Haut-Brion, this is a freshly perfumed wine, with light acidity and some rich, creamy fruit. There’s just a touch of almonds and toastiness to add complexity. — R.V. (11/1/2007)

Clarendelle 2005 Red (Bordeaux)

Online Exclusive

Considering the almost perfect conditions of 2005, this is certainly better than previous vintages of Clarendelle, the branded wine from Château Haut-Brion. But it still has an awkward stalky edge to it, which cuts through the otherwise rich, velvet texture, leaving bitterness. — R.V. (6/1/2009)

Clarendelle 2005 Red (Bordeaux Rosé)

Price $17

A strawberry-flavored wine, fruity and with a touch of sweetness, typical of the Bordeaux rosé style. This is an already mature wine, with flavors of loganberry and only hints of fresh acidity. — R.V. (11/1/2007)
