Vinification of Château Clarke by Baron Edmond de Rothschild

The grapes for the Château Clarke come from productive vineyards that have been carefully selected to guarantee the best quality. The vineyards benefit from a unique microcosm of climate and soil, which imparts character to the grapes. The ripe grapes are hand-picked at the optimal harvest time to select only the best specimens.

During vinification, a gentle destemming and pressing take place first. The grapes are then fermented in stainless steel tanks, which emphasizes the fruitiness of the wine. The temperature is precisely controlled to achieve optimal extraction of the aromas. After the primary fermentation, the wine rests on the fine lees for some time, which adds additional finesse.

The aging process takes place partly in traditional oak barrels, which give the wine pleasant vanilla notes. The final touch occurs in the bottle, where the Château Clarke can mature in peace. These careful steps in vinification are essential to bring out the elegance and character of the wine.
