Chateau Clarke Listrac-Medoc Bordeaux French Blend Red Wine 750mL

After more than a century of family history tied to the world of wine, Baron Edmond de Rothschild (great-grandson of James) took the adventure further in 1973 by acquiring two Cru Bourgeois wines in Listrac and Moulis-en-Médoc: Château Clarke and Château Malmaison.

Dating back to the 12th century, the origins of Château Clarke began when Cistercian monks planted the first vines and in 1818 the knight, Tobie Clarke purchased the land, named after him to this day. After passing through several hands, Baron Edmond de Rothschild bought the property in 1973.

A terroir highly suited to cultivating the Merlot varietal, in a region more traditionally known for the production of Cabernet Sauvignon.

70% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. A spicy, plummy nose. Firm, dense and full of dark plum fruits with a cassis spiced note on the end.

Food pairings: beef tenderloin, prime rib roast, stuffed saddle of rabbit.
