Clarence Dillon Clarendelle Bordeaux Rose
2023 Clarendelle Bordeaux Rosé is a brilliant, clear, pale pink colour. The nose is very complex with aromas of raspberry and pink grapefruit reminiscent of boiled sweets. The mouthfeel is dense and velvety, with a subtle tannic structure, accompanied by a lovely freshness. Red fruit notes come to the fore, mingled with hints of tropical fruit, such as lychee and mandarin orange. All in all, a very fruity and well-balanced wine underpinned by slightly salty, mineral nuances. The aromatic intensity makes for a delicious wine with a long, delicate aftertaste.
