Château La Fleur Clémence
Graves Rouge - 2019
Château La Fleur Cléménce lies in the heart of the Graves region in the commune of Landiras. The origins of this vineyard date back to the 14th century when it was owned by François de Goth, Lord of Landiras and nephew of Pope Clement V, who named the property «Caillou d’Artigues” (“Stone of Artigues”). The entire vineyard is planted on the southern slopes of the hill on which Artigues lies.
The Graves terroir produces red wines that have a Grand Cru reputation, and some extremely sought-after dry white wines. They often have a flamboyant style and a rich structure in their youth.
They become more complex as they age, and reveal aromas of spices.
