Product Highlights

The perfect entry point for great Bordeaux red wines. And what an entrance! 

This is pedigree of the highest order. Clarence Dillon isn’t just any old prestigious label from Bordeaux - this is the legendary royal family of wine behind the iconic Château Haut-Brion, one of the original, almost mystical, First Growths of the fabled 1855 classification.

This wine is overseen by the very same elite winemaking team responsible for some of the most expensive and revered cellars on the planet.

This is your chance to drink true winemaking royalty without the gazillionaire price tag.

2018 was an absolute blockbuster of a vintage in Bordeaux. Indeed, the year is widely celebrated as a 5-star benchmark for the region delivering depth, structure and plushness. Beautifully matured for a perfect 8 years, this classic blend of Cabernet and Merlot is ripe for optimum enjoyment.

Look forward to aromas of black fruits flowing silkily onto powerful flavours of red and black cherries and blackcurrants. Velvety tannins lead on to a long finish with the merest hint of spice. This Bordeaux is the genuine article. Absolutely stunning.
