The 2018 Le Clarence de Haut-Brion Magnum (1.5L) is the second wine of the legendary Ch\u00e2teau Haut-Brion, one of Bordeaux\u2019s five Premier Grand Cru Class\u00e9s. Thanks to the same exceptional terroirs and the same meticulous winemaking process, Le Clarence de Haut-Brion offers an elegant and accessible interpretation of the ch\u00e2teau\u2019s style. The Magnum format also ensures a slower and more harmonious aging process.<\/p>\n
The exceptional 2018 vintage produced wines with impressive concentration, ripe fruit, and perfect balance. The blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc results in a wine with great depth, refined tannins, and impressive aging potential.<\/p>\n
The wine opens with aromas of cassis, black cherries, plums, violets, cedar, graphite, cocoa, and delicate spices. On the palate, it is powerful and refined, with velvety-soft tannins, lively freshness, and an exceptionally long, elegant finish.<\/p>\n
Serve at 16\u201318\u00b0C and decant the wine about one to two hours in advance. Delicious with beef, lamb, game, duck, and aged cheeses.<\/p>\n
