Baron Edmond restored the property and redesigned the vineyard resulting in a wine-producing area of 54 hectares and modernising the winemaking process throughout. Today, the vines are planted on clay-limestone hilltops that enable the Merlot vines to express their character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEver since the first wine was bottled in 1978 the quality of Château Clarke wine has steadily improved which is a testament to the stringent controls on the method of cultivation and wine production.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince 2001, all the handpicked and meticulously sorted grapes are transferred into a wooden vat using gravity for the vatting process. The wine is then placed in new barrels where it is left to mature for between 14 and 18 months. This process means that the wine produced at Château Clarke is a true reflection of the land that made it: concentrated and distinguished, it allies power with aromatic complexity, and has great potential for ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fine Wine Direct","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57232160063861,"sku":null,"price":399.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0131\/6713\/2731\/products\/chateauclarkemixedcasefinewinedirect.png?v=1668796302","url":"https:\/\/www.finewinedirect.co.uk\/products\/chateau-clarke-baron-edmond-de-rothschild-2009-2010-and-2018-mixed-case-limited-edition","provider":"Fine Wine Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
