Wine Enthusiast
Black-licorice aromas give this wine a fine start to its great fruitiness. It is light in both tannins and structure, but is balanced. It has a juicy character, packed with acidity and black-currant flavors. Drink from 2026.

The 2021 Château La Clotte checks in as 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, which is a normal blend for this château, and the aging was 18 months in new French oak. It has a saturated ruby hue to go with gorgeous notes of crème de cassis, black cherries, ripe tobacco, violets, and smoke, with just a hint of iron in the background. It's rich, medium-bodied, has a ripe, concentrated mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a great finish.

Tasting note
- Acquired in 2014 by the Vauthier family, Château La Clotte is a small vine garden of four hectares located behind the ramparts to the south of Saint-Émilion. La Clotte is a building nestled against the cliff face with deep quarry labyrinths beneath its vineyard. The vineyard has been thought through plot by plot to reveal the richness of its eleven plots. The cellar is dug into the rock and ensures ideal conditions for aging.

Like its neighbor Ausone, despite a hot and humid spring, the character of the slopes of Saint-Émilion defines this vintage. Meticulous work in the vineyard focused on controlling vigor and managing vegetation cover. Ripeness was optimal thanks to the return of dry and mild weather in September. Intense purple in color. The great aromatic purity and notes of red berry fruits, spices, and fresh almonds characterize the expression of this vintage. On the palate, the attack is smooth, and the velvety tannins are enveloping. The finish is precise with a tension that is perfectly balanced.
