Château de Clotte, Castillon 2019
Here is a Saint-Émilion-styled Côtes de Castillon claret from a fabulous vintage, showing supple, seductive ripeness, roundness, and texture. From fabulous, limestone and gravel terroir, too: situated on a ridge to the east of the Saint-Émilion plateau, Castillon is in our opinion the most underrated appellation in all Bordeaux. One from which Château de Clotte offer you Saint-Émilion finesse and expression without the corresponding price tag.
Clotte's 2019 vintage is a blend of 50% cabernet franc, 40% merlot and 10% malbec, with lovely rich berry fruit flavours and a hint of spice, tobacco and vanilla from its oak aging. It is still youthful, but opened an hour beforehand and it blossoms in the glass. Utterly delicious now, it promises at least 5-7 more years of sumptuous drinking pleasure.

We have enjoyed several bottles of Ch de Clotte 2019 and it is consistently good, everyday drinking. It is our go-to red and matches most foods with its robust, yet silky, roundness.
The 2016 was a cracker, I had at least two cases, now making a start on a case of the 2019, slightly different in character as I think accurately described by FVD, but another top notch wine which is drinking perfectly now, and well above its price. Peter
I bought three bottles. When I'd tasted the first one, I ordered a case. It's my idea of what red Bordeaux should be and it goes down extremely well with visitors. I still have a number of bottles left, but I'm considering buying another case before it disappears. That's how good it is.
This would be an excellent wine at twice the price. Initially I bought just a couple of bottles to try it and found it so rich and satisfying that I immediately ordered a case.
