Description

Before appellation controlée rules forbade it, blending Bordeaux with a riper style of Rhône red was common in France, right up until the 20th century.

It was nicknamed La Travail à l’Anglaise – ‘the English way’ – because its luscious style was aimed squarely at the English palate. Just recently Château Palmer revived the tradition, charging almost as much per bottle (over $2,000) as they do for their Grand Vin. And when I tasted it, I knew I had to make a La Clarière version too. Look forward to lavish La Clarière Bordeaux blended with well-ripened, top-quality Rhône Syrah, all aged in cask. A deep, dark, rich and sumptuous red full of amazing fruit and spice, there’s no better wine for Christmas!
