Where does it come from

How is it produced

The Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are harvested and selected exclusively by hand. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in wood at a controlled temperature. The wine ages for 14-18 months in barriques, gaining aromatic complexity and softer tannins, while maintaining a balance between fruit and wood notes.

Tasting notes

The color is a deep purple-red. The nose reveals fresh red fruits such as cherry and blackberry, with hints of cocoa, vanilla, and subtle notes of licorice. The palate is full and rounded, with bold yet well-integrated tannins. The finish is persistent, featuring fruity overtones and a gentle spiciness that adds depth.

Food pairings

Listrac-Médoc Château Clarke pairs well with grilled or braised red meats, thanks to its structure and tannic texture. It also works with game (such as wild boar) and aged hard cheeses.

When to serve

Barrique aging and structure allow for medium-term aging. It is recommended to enjoy this wine within a few years to fully appreciate the evolution of its tannins and aromatic bouquet. When young, the wine is fruity and vibrant, showing tension and energy, while after some years in the bottle it develops greater softness and depth, making it suitable for a variety of occasions.
