Vinous

Neal Martin

The 2019 La Clotte was picked from September 27 to October 7. It has a complex bouquet of detailed red berry fruit, wild hedgerow, crushed stone and wilted rose petal aromas, engaging and (for the vintage) understated. The palate is medium-bodied, ripe and beautifully poised, with pliant tannins and a judicious touch of spice. This builds wonderfully in the mouth and feels elegant and refined, almost Burgundian on the finish. Wonderful.

Jean-Marc Quarin

Dark, intense, and vibrant color. An intense, refined, subtle, and noble nose. Delicately mellow on the attack, very aromatic mid-palate, with body and fragrance between the mid-palate and the finish; the wine stretches out at length, flavorful, delicately structured, and long.

Roger Voss

This estate is improving every vintage. This latest release has great structure from the exposure of the old vines. It has some serious tannins set against the wine's juicy black fruits. Drink from 2026.

Description

The refinement and elegance of a great Saint-Émilion wine

The estate

The history of Château La Clotte, a hidden gem of Saint-Émilion, dates back to the 17th century, yet its reputation has endured through the ages. This illustrious estate, brought to life by the de Grailly family, is a true reflection of the rich history of the Bordeaux vineyards. La Clotte, a Gascon dialect word meaning a small troglodyte dwelling, takes its name from the geographical particularity of its location, nestled against a rocky hillside. When admiring this château, one is immediately struck by its neo-Gothic turret and its two majestic linden trees, timeless guardians standing proudly in front of the house.

The vineyard

Overlooking the gentle slopes of southern Saint-Émilion, this 4-hectare vineyard spreads its terraced vines across a limestone hillside. These clay-limestone soils are home to majestic vines, averaging 56 years of age, benefiting from ideal south-facing exposure sheltered from prevailing winds.

Winemaking and aging

Hand-harvested grapes followed by a meticulous berry selection. Traditional fermentation carried out in stainless steel tanks, ensuring the preservation of the aromas. Aged for 18 months in barrels.

Blend

Merlot (85%)
Cabernet Sauvignon (10%)
