Bordeaux
remains the reference for quality
wine throughout the world. Bordeaux
offers both an exceptional terroir
and a significant brain pool of
qualified and passionate people.
Clarendelle's success will be
rooted in the same foundation
that has assured the quality of
our estate wines for centuries'.
Our wines are crafted by men and
women of integrity who share our
passion and vision.
We believe that wine lovers are
seeking names that they can trust
which offer an alternative to
existing "new world brands".
Clarendelle offers an old world
response to a new world creation,
Premium Brand Wines. Although
the inspiration and style of our
wines are firmly anchored in tradition,
we are confident that Clarendelle
responds to a growing desire of
wine lovers who seek wines that
are elegant and a joy to drink ! |

| The
name, Clarendelle, is first and
foremost inspired by that of Clarence
Dillon, my great-grandfather,
who set the foundation for our
family's presence in the unique
region of the south-west of France.
This homage shows both our family's
commitment to our new wines as
well as our guarantee of quality
to what may be Bordeaux's first
true Premium range of brand wines.
Clarendelle is also a reference
to the word "Claret"
and more particularly to "New
French Claret", a style
of wine that was born on our
estate, Chateau Haut-Brion,
in the 1600s. Clarendelle, through
our family's history, owes its
existence to our estate wines
and will always be inspired
by their example.
Finally, the name Clarendelle,
with its French consonance and
femininity pays tribute to a
love affair between our family
and a grand lady who has played
hostess to us for over seventy
years. We refer of course to
France, a nation which continues
to inspire and seduce generations
of Dillon family members through
its people and through the great
richness of her culture which
seem to find their perfect expression
in the elegance and diversity
of her wines.
