Parker about Le Clarence de Haut-Brion 2021
One of the finest second wines in this vintage is the 2021 Le Clarence de Haut-Brion, a medium to full-bodied, deep and layered wine evocative of dark berries, plums, pipe tobacco and burning embers. Built around powdery tannins and lively acids, it's an elegant, seamless cuvée that does bear more than a passing resemblance to the grand vin.

Le Clarence de Haut-Brion 2021
Le Clarence de Haut-Brion is the second wine of the renowned Château Haut-Brion in the Bordeaux region. Often considered the "little brother" of the estate's flagship wine, this wine represents a high-quality alternative with its own charm and character.
Le Clarence de Haut-Brion is made from grapes from younger vines or from specific plots not included in the main Château Haut-Brion cuvée. This approach allows for a wine that reflects the estate's characteristics, but tends to be more accessible and drinkable sooner.
The blend of Le Clarence de Haut-Brion can vary depending on the vintage, but it typically consists of a blend of grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and possibly Petit Verdot. This often gives the wine a balanced structure, fruity aromas, and a certain elegance.
The wines of Le Clarence de Haut-Brion typically display aromas of dark fruits, subtle spices, and graceful complexity. While they may not have the same depth and complexity as the estate's flagship wine, they still offer appealing quality and a distinct style.
