Robert Parker's Wine Advocate : One of the finest second wines in this vintage is the 2021 Le Clarence de Haut-Brion, a medium to full-bodied, deep and layered wine evocative of dark berries, plums, pipe tobacco and burning embers. Built around powdery tannins and lively acids, it's an elegant, seamless cuvée that does bear more than a passing resemblance to the grand vin.
Blend : 70.4% Merlot, 18.2% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11.4% Cabernet Franc.
