Château Clement-Pichon Haut Medoc 2016: A Bordeaux Blend with Class

The Chateau Clement-Pichon Haut Medoc 2016 is a delightful red wine from the Haut-Medoc region of Bordeaux, France. This Cru Bourgeois delivers a medium-bodied drinking experience, brimming with charm and perfect for enjoying now or cellaring for a few years.

Tasting Notes:

The first sip of Chateau Clement-Pichon 2016 greets you with a wave of dark fruit flavours. Blackberry, black cherry, and hints of red plum take centre stage, complemented by subtle earthy notes and a touch of smokiness. As the wine opens up, you'll find intriguing hints of cedar wood, dried herbs, and a gentle peppery spice that lingers on the finish. The tannins are smooth and well-integrated, creating a pleasant mouthfeel that makes this wine incredibly easy to drink.

Grape Varietals:

The Chateau Clement-Pichon Haut Medoc 2016 is a blend, which is typical of Bordeaux wines. The exact composition might vary slightly from year to year, but this particular vintage is believed to be dominated by Merlot, with Cabernet Sauvignon playing a supporting role. This blend offers the best of both worlds: the juicy fruitiness and approachable nature of Merlot balanced by the structure and ageing potential of Cabernet Sauvignon.

Food Pairing:

The Chateau Clement-Pichon 2016's medium body and juicy fruit character make it a versatile food pairing wine. Here are some suggestions to elevate your dining experience:

  • Red Meat: This wine pairs beautifully with grilled steaks, roast lamb, or hearty beef stews. The tannins will stand up to the richness of the meat, while the fruity notes complement the savoury flavours.
  • Roast Vegetables: Roasted root vegetables like carrots, parsnips, and beetroot make a fantastic accompaniment to this wine. The earthy notes in the wine will echo the flavours of the roasted vegetables, creating a harmonious pairing.
  • Hard Cheese: Enjoy a cheese board alongside your Chateau Clement-Pichon. Mature Cheddar, Gruyere, or Gouda will pair well with the wine's robust character.
  • Mushroom Dishes: Earthy mushroom flavours are a wonderful match for this wine. Consider serving it with a rich mushroom risotto, creamy pasta with wild mushrooms, or a hearty mushroom and lentil ragù.

Drinking Window:

The Chateau Clement-Pichon 2016 is already drinking beautifully and can be enjoyed now. However, it also has the potential to age for a few more years in your cellar. If you choose to cellare it, expect the tannins to soften further, and the fruit characters may develop some interesting tertiary notes like leather and tobacco.

Conclusion:

The Chateau Clement-Pichon Haut Medoc 2016 is a fantastic example of a Cru Bourgeois wine from Haut-Medoc. It offers a delightful drinking experience with its medium body, juicy dark fruit flavours, and smooth tannins. Its versatility makes it a great choice for a variety of dishes, and its cellaring potential adds further value. Whether you're enjoying a casual weeknight dinner or a special occasion, the Chateau Clement-Pichon 2016 is sure to impress.
