Our Review of the Cuvée
Claymore
The estate is located in Maison-Neuve, within the Lussac Saint-Émilion appellation, northeast of Saint-Émilion in the Bordeaux wine region. It was established in 1960 and purchased in 2001 by François and Maria-Dolorès Linard, who gradually restructured the vineyard and modernized the winery. The estate encompasses several plots planted on Fronsadais molasse soils with underlying clay and limestone, typical of this wine-growing region.
The vineyard is managed using minimal intervention and environmentally friendly practices, including plowing, leaf removal, green harvesting, and selective sorting in the winery. The vineyards are planted primarily with Merlot, supplemented by Cabernet Franc and Malbec for certain vintages.
The estate produces several wines under the Lussac Saint-Émilion and Montagne Saint-Émilion appellations, such as Château La Claymore, Château La Haute Claymore, Château Grand Barail, Château Moulin de Fontmurée, and the second wine, Cadet du Château La Claymore. ... Read more
