Tasting notes and reviews

James Suckling - 91/100
Château Clarisse - 2020
This is spicy and chocolatey, showing cherries, blackcurrants and spices with wet-earth undertones. Medium-bodied and juicy with a chalky texture and firm tannins. Vivid and lingering finish.

The Wine Cellar Insider (Jeff Leve) - 90/100
Château Clarisse - 2020
Medium-bodied, soft, silky, and fresh, there is a nice vibrancy to the core of sweet, polished, lifted red fruits on the nose, and palate, leaving you with an olive-tinted, savory finish. This charmer will be easy to enjoy on release. Drink from 2023-2033.
