Clos Floridčne Description

Famous for both its red and white wines, Graves is a large region, extending 30 miles southeast of the city of Bordeaux, along the left bank of the Garonne River. Red wine producing vineyards cover well over three times as much area as the whites. In the late 1980s, the French created the separate appellation of Pessac-Léognan within the northern confines of Graves. It includes all of its most famous properties, and the southern suburbs of the city Bordeaux itself. In French "graves" is a term used to indicate gravelly soils.

Winemaker Notes

Clos Floridène Rouge is strongly marked by an unusual association in Bordeaux, Cabernet-Sauvignon on calcareous soil. With a bright and intense color, it has black-currant and wild strawberry aromas, with hints of mint, licorice and smokiness. The fruit and tannin are powerful, silky and fresh.

Blend: 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot

The Barrel Sample for this wine is under 14% ABV.

Professional Ratings

92Wine Enthusiast

The late founder Denis Dubourdieu was the master of white wine in Bordeaux. So it is pleasing that this wine should be so fine. Subtly rich, with generous white fruits, ripeness and concentration, the wine is developing well. Drink from 2022. AP Wine Imports. Editors’ Choice.

91James Suckling

A juicy, ripe red with plums, berries and chocolate. Some cloves. It’s medium-bodied. Softness with freshness.

90Wine Spectator

Packs a good, juicy mix of red and black currant fruit, wrapped in light tar and savory notes. Fresh, with good energy through the sanguine-tinged finish. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Drink now.
