Since Tony Laithwaite first worked in Castillon in 1967, he has been a champion of the region. As Wine International wrote, and he believes: ''If it weren't for the line dividing Castillon from Saint Emilion, its wines would be twice the price. The hills are the same, the soil is the same, the exposure is the same.'' In 1980 Tony bought Château La Clarière and has been proving his point ever since, winning Golds and Trophies, and twice the coveted Paris' Lauréat Prix d'Excellence.
The 2019 La Clarière has two Gold medals and shows off the "exceptional balance" (Antoni Galloni) of the "through-the-roof-good" (robertparker.com) 2019 Bordeaux vintage. Jancis Robinson said that "tasting the 2020s was a real joy" and the 2020 La Clarière reflects that joy with six Golds, Double Gold, and Grand Gold. 2021 was a more challenging vintage, yet the 2021 La Clarière still garnered Grand Gold and Gold – which really shows its mettle!
Whether you choose the beautifully balanced 2019, the joyously fruity 2020 or the elegant and refined 2021, you will have a stunning addition to your banquet table. If you're feeling very decadent, you could open one of each and have a fascinating tasting. Invite some wine loving friends around and make an event of it!
