'Chateau Clarke' Baron Edmond de Rothschild 2013

The Listrac-Médoc Château Clarke was born in vineyards located within the prestigious French wine region of the Medoc, in the greater Bordeaux area. It is mainly produced with Merlot grapes and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, harvested and selected only by hand. Fermentation takes place in wooden barrels, at a controlled temperature. Subsequently the wine ages for 14-18 months in barriques before being bottled. This Listrac-Médoc is characterized by a ruby red color tending towards garnet and considering the years. The nose opens with persuasive aromas of ripe red fruit and cocoa, enriched with notes of licorice and vanilla. On the palate it is round, delicate, but intense, with a long persistence. Perfect to accompany red meats, including grilled ones, it is ideal in combination with furred game and aged cheeses.
