The 2026 Harvest

Under the direction of Nathalie Bassot-Dworkin, Clarendelle’s œnologist and Director of Operations, the 2026 harvest began particularly early across Bordeaux. The first white grapes were picked in Pessac as early as 10 August, followed by grapes destined for rosé wines around 25 August, before the first Merlot grapes for red winemaking were harvested in mid-September. This remarkably early start is shaping what promises to be a particularly promising vintage.

“As a young man, living in London, I had neither a cellar nor a significant budget that would allow me to store and acquire classified growths from Bordeaux. I loved the wines from this region and my tastes had been greatly influenced by my annual stays at Château Haut-Brion. I was looking for fine blended wines with some bottle age, an authentic reflection of the South West terroirs and marked by the unique originality of each vintage. They needed to be affordable and dependable while nonetheless displaying complexity, elegance and balance. This is how the Clarendelle family of wines was conceived and ultimately born. My family and I enjoy these wines just as much and as frequently today, as we did with our very first vintage…the 2002 Red that we introduced to the market in late 2005.”
