Le Clarence de Haut-Brion, the second wine of Château Haut-Brion, is skilfully assembled from vats that do not quite align with the final blend of Haut-Brion itself. Since 2007, it bears the name Le Clarence de Haut-Brion, as a tribute to Clarence Dillon, the purchaser of Haut-Brion in 1934. The 2020 vintage evokes aromas of dark berries, rose petals, cigar wrapper, and smouldering embers. On the palate, it offers a medium to full-bodied, luscious, and multi-layered profile. The wine culminates in a long, subtly kirsch-infused finish.
