Le Clarence de Haut-Brion
On the gravelly ridges of Pessac-Léognan, Le Clarence de Haut-Brion speaks in the quieter register of a legendary estate. Renamed with the 2007 vintage in tribute to Clarence Dillon—who took the reins in 1935—it draws on the same hillside of quartz pebbles over clay-laced subsoils, just outside Bordeaux.
Vineyard work is parcel-led and exacting: hand harvesting, strict sorting, gentle extraction and élevage in French oak barrels shape a structure that stays supple. As a second wine it reaches its harmony earlier, yet keeps the house’s signature of precision and restraint rather than sheer power.
For anyone searching Pessac-Léognan authenticity—gravel, craft and lineage—this label opens the door to Haut-Brion’s world, where history and modern technique meet in calm confidence.Le Clarence de Haut-Brion
