Vinification of the Château Clarke 1.5l Magnum by Baron Edmond de Rothschild

The vinification of Château Clarke begins in the vineyard, where the vines thrive in optimally tempered locations. Here, the grapes receive sufficient light and nutrients. The careful selection of the vines includes the Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon varieties, which provide the wine's fullness and fruitiness. The grapes are hand-harvested in the early morning hours to ensure the best quality.

In the winery, the grapes are gently destemmed and softly pressed. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh fruit aromas. Afterward, the wine ages for several months in French barrique barrels, giving it a harmonious structure and complex aromas. Additionally, the fine structure of the tannins develops during this time, providing the wine with longevity. Following maturation, it is bottled in the characteristic Magnum bottle, which offers ideal conditions for further aging.
