Producer

The Château Clarke vineyard stretches across clay-limestone soils, promoting optimal drainage and proper grape ripening. The temperate oceanic climate of the Bordeaux region allows for slow and even maturation, essential for developing the aromatic complexity of the grape varieties. The diversity of the plots also contributes to the richness of the wines, each plot imparting its own unique character. Viticulture practices are environmentally conscious, aiming to preserve biodiversity and soil health.

Owner and history

Currently, Château Clarke is managed by the Carle family, who acquired the estate in 2004. Passionate about wine and the terroir, they have undertaken to modernize the facilities while respecting the estate's heritage. Their commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly viticulture is reflected in the quality of the wines produced. The Carle family has breathed new life into the estate while preserving the authenticity and unique character of Château Clarke wines.

Vinification and aging

Winemaking at Château Clarke is carried out with meticulous care. The grapes are harvested by hand, allowing for rigorous selection. After delicate destemming, the berries are placed in vats for controlled fermentation at a precise temperature. Aging takes place in oak barrels, some of which are renewed annually, to impart a subtle oak influence without masking the fruit. This process results in a wine that is both rich and elegant, ready to improve with age.
