The Clarke 2001 is a Bordeaux red blend from Listrac-Médoc. This vintage presents notes of ripe black fruit alongside hints of earthy undertones and subtle spice. The palate exhibits a structured composition with a notable length. Château Clarke, acquired by Baron Edmond de Rothschild in 1973, spans 55 hectares across clay-limestone hilltops. The vineyard practices meticulous handpicking and sorting, followed by a gravity-fed vinification process, and ageing in oak barrels for approximately 14 to 18 months.
