Wine Flavor Profile
Château La Clarière Blanc is a medium-bodied white wine with inviting aromas of fresh-sliced pear and lemon, edged with a spicy, flowering herb note. Look for more of the same flavor characteristics on the palate with complexity, plus a lovely balance of fruit weight and acidity.Wine Food Pairings

Bordeaux’s classic reds are world-famous, but the region is also home to collectible whites.
A racy white Bordeaux is already relatively uncommon, as compared to the region’s ever-present reds!—made to a unique recipe of half Sauvignon Blanc and half (rare) Sauvignon Gris.
Château La Clarière Blanc hails from “the leading estate in Côtes de Castillon” (Decanter), the neighboring region of Saint-Émilion. It features the Bordeaux’s signature white grape, Sauvignon Blanc, and its richer “cousin” grape variety, Sauvignon Gris. It’s a tongue-tingling, food-friendly blend, offering beautifully fresh and elegant flavors of ripe citrus. One taste and you’ll see why it earned a gold medal from Challenge des Terroirs.
If you’re looking for something deliciously different, but also crowd-pleasing, this fabulous white Bordeaux is your bottle. Order today.
