WINE DESCRIPTION

Château Clarke Le Merle Blanc de Château Clarke Bordeaux Blanc is a white wine produced by Château Clarke, in the Bordeaux region of France. The wine is made from a blend of carefully selected Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes grown in the vineyards surrounding the estate. The vineyards are known for their maritime climate, resulting in grapes with great freshness in addition to their exceptional flavor and aroma. The winemaking process involves maturation in oak with regular lees stirring to add both toasty complexity and a creamy mid-palate texture. The wine is characterized by its crisp acidity, vibrant citrus, and stonefruit flavors, and a long, refreshing finish. It is a perfect accompaniment to seafood, salads, and light dishes.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Château Clarke Le Merle Blanc de Château Clarke Bordeaux Blanc is an example of a Sauvignon Blanc-based wine that is too often overlooked.Pale lemon in color with an aromatic nose of lemon, peach, and cut grass. The palate is medium-bodied with a layered texture. Engagingly complex with notes of oak toast and a lingering finish that ends with tangy acidic freshness. Outstanding with smoked fish and can be enjoyed now or within the next 10 years.
