44 years ago, in 1980, I was persuaded
by my mentor, Monsieur Cassin, to
buy his small property in Castillon
Côtes de Bordeaux – Château La Clarière.
But I couldn’t have done it without the
support of my loyal customers, some
of whom have bought a case every
vintage since 1986!
It lies on the same limestone ridge as
Saint-Émilion’s famous Grands Crus
Classés next door. And I made it my
mission to prove to the world that our
Castillon wines were as good as any from
my renowned – and pricey – neighbours.
With four Trophies and over 90 Golds,
I feel it’s almost mission accomplished.
As a big ‘thank you’ to all my customers,
I have put together a unique case of four
of my top château wines, here with a
substantial 25% saving.
Enclos de la Clarière
2021 is an exciting,
limited-edition new
release. From a
vineyard closest to our Saint-Émilion
Grand Cru Classé neighbours, it’s pure
barrel-aged Merlot showing deep, silky
red fruits and creamy plum, with a touch
of tobacco spice. Just 500 cases made.
Château La Clarière is my pride-and-joy
Grand Vin, the velvety 2020 showing dark
blackberry notes and chocolatey spice
richness thanks to ageing
in part new oak.
Enjoy my top white too
– a complex Sauvignon
Blanc/Gris fermented
in new oak. A luscious
wine with vanilla spice,
grassy peach character
and intense citrus.

For a smooth, earlierdrinking claret, there’s
my Château de Colombe
2022 – classic Merlot notes
of ripe plum with creamy
spice from gentle oak.
With a 25% saving, the
wines come out at just £14.99 a bottle.
A fine wine ‘thank you’ case for a modest
price I doubt I can ever repeat.
