The wine

The red wines, aged for 12 months in oak barrels, develop an intense, complex, flowery, fruity nose. Very smooth, they present subtle aromas of candied dark berries and a delicate woodiness.

Remarkably located in the middle of three crus classés in the Pessac-Léognan appellation (Bouscaut, Carbonnieux and Smith-Haut-Lafitte), Château Le Thil Comte Clary extracts fantastic potential from its terroir. Very well oriented, one of its particularities is that the clay-limestone soil, with gravelly areas, is not unlike that of Saint Emilion. This unusual agronomic characteristic explains the choice of grape varieties; a departure from the traditional rules for the Graves region.
