This is a blended wine made with on the best plots located on the sunny slopes of the Chateau la Haute Claymore Estate. The soil is composed of the famous Fronsac molasse with sand facies, and a layer of limestone and clay at the bottom.  A very typical terroir, characteristic of Saint-Emilion fine wines, which imparts strength, finesse to our wines, and a good depth on the palate.  Beautiful, dense garnet red color. Powerful nose of dark fruits, blackberry, blueberry and blackcurrant with notes of toffee and a hint of vanilla. Round on the palate with smooth tannins. The finish lingers on with well-ripened cherry and liquorice tastes, with slightly toasty notes.  Will pair well with grilled meats.

About Château la Haute Claymore:

In the 11th and 12th centuries, the Bordeaux region was marked by the English presence. At the same time, the Benedictine monks decorated the Saint-Emilion monolithic church with sculptures influenced by the Celtic culture. This mixing of Anglo-saxon and Celtic culture has thus shaped our region. This is also reflected in the historical name of our estate: LA CLAYMORE. English-sounding, this name was written Claimh Mhor in Celtic, and referred to the broad sword of the Scottish Highlanders, Celtic warriors who are supposed to have fought with the English Army in Aquitaine.
