Chateau Clarke 2016 Vintage Overview

2016 OVERVIEW

Dark-fruited and confident, Chateau Clarke 2016 layers ripe blackcurrant and cherry with hints of graphite, leather and subtle spice, all wrapped in a firm but polished frame. The Merlot brings generous, fleshy fruit while Cabernet adds a cool, Médoc-like backbone, giving the wine both immediacy and a sense of classic structure as it trails off in a long, savory finish.

About Chateau Clarke

Château Clarke is the flagship Listrac‑Médoc estate of the Edmond de Rothschild family, known for its Merlot‑dominant red blends (roughly 70% Merlot / 30% Cabernet Sauvignon) grown on clay‑limestone soils that give the wines a plush, right‑bank freshness within Médoc structure. The domaine, fully replanted and modernized since Baron Edmond de Rothschild’s 1973 acquisition (with long‑term consulting input from eminent oenologists), also produces the aromatic white cuvée Le Merle Blanc and emphasizes careful oak ageing and sustainable practices.
