91 Points, Decanter Magazine "Listrac tends to be the earliest to age of the Médoc commune appellations, along with pockets of Moulis, and this shows why it can be the perfect one to crack open at the 10 year window. Plenty of russet-tinged hedgerow notes in here, brambled blackberries, tobacco and smoked leather, with fully softened tannins. Still plenty of life alongside all of this but ready to drink and extremely welcoming. A lovely wine, balanced and enjoyable, really one to enjoy, and to underline that 91 is a Highly Recommended score."

What The Critics Say
"A grand vintage for this Edmond de Rothschild family-owned estate. The wine is rich, powerfully textured. It is solid with tannins that are considerable to balance the black fruits. This will age many years, drink from 2027."

ABOUT THIS BRAND
Chateau Clarke
Château Clarke bears the name of the Irish family that acquired this vast estate in 1771. After passing through several generations that kept the winemaking tradition alive for over two centuries, the property was acquired by Baron Edmond de Rothschild in 1973. A wine lover like many other members of his illustrious family, Edmond de Rothschild dreamed of owning an intimate, unassuming vineyard that he would turn into his masterpiece. With a strong passion for the art of living and the pursuit of excellence, he made Château Clarke the hallmark of his brand. The nearby Atlantic Ocean gives the terroir a freshness that is reflected in the aromatic brilliance of the wine. A terroir highly suited to cultivating the Merlot varietal, in a region more traditionally known for the production of Cabernet Sauvignon. Château Clarke thus possesses a deeply distinctive Médoc character.
