Château Dalem: A Distinguished Fronsac Claret

Hailing from the esteemed clay and limestone plateaus of Fronsac, Château Dalem is a highly distinguished Claret from the Bordeaux Right Bank. This Merlot-centric blend is celebrated for its classic structure, depth, and ability to age gracefully, making it a superb addition to any fine wine collection. The estate's commitment to quality has earned it high praise from leading UK critics like Decanter.

Tasting Notes (Typical Vintage)

• Appearance: A rich, deep garnet hue.
• Aroma: An expressive bouquet of ripe dark berries (plum, blackcurrant), complemented by elegant notes of cigar box, liquorice, and sweet baking spice.
• Mouthfeel: Medium-to-full bodied with a core of ripe fruit. The wine is defined by its polished, civilized tannins and a fresh acidity, ensuring a beautifully balanced and lengthy palate.

Serving Suggestion

For the best experience, serve slightly below room temperature (16°C). A minimum of one hour of decanting is advised, especially for younger vintages, to soften the tannins and awaken the complex aromas.

• Ideal Food Matches: Traditional Sunday Roast Beef, Venison Casserole, Mature Stilton or Cheddar, Game Pie.
