Tasting notes and reviews

James Suckling - 91/100
Château Clarisse, Vieilles Vignes - 2021
Pretty nose of dried flowers, bark, currants and anise. Sleek and spicy with a medium body, fine- grained tannins and a firm and flavorful finish.

The Wine Cellar Insider (Jeff Leve) - 90/100
Château Clarisse, Vieilles Vignes - 2021
Black cherries, licorice, chocolate and flowers create the aromatics. On the palate, the wine is soft, polished, fresh and fruity, with a dash of citrus that adds more lift to the backend.

Yves Beck - 92/100
Château Clarisse, Vieilles Vignes - 2021
Château Clarisse Vieilles Vignes highlights the quality potential of the estate. Chalky nuances alongside cherry and elderberry bring out the complexity of the bouquet. With good density, the wine is supported by silky, gently smooth tannins in harmony with the tension of the acidity. The result is fresh, savoury, lively and persistent. A fine success!
