Château Clauzet Saint-Estèphe Cru Bourgeois AOC

Château Clauzet is a classic red Bordeaux blend from the Saint-Estèphe appellation in the Médoc.

The 2017 vintage is particularly notable as it was the final one produced under the 20-year ownership of Baron Velge before the estate was sold to Jacky Lorenzetti and the integration of Château Clauzet within the structure of Château La Haye.
