Château Penin is a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. This best-seller is supple, low in acidity, and fruity on the nose and palate. Clairet differs from rosés in that it has a more vinous, savory, and lingering presence on the palate. Best enjoyed slightly chilled within 2–3 years. From aperitif to dessert, this Bordeaux Clairet is perfect for any occasion!

Rated estate (2021 guide) 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable vintage, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Patrick Carteyron is one of the leading figures in the vast Bordeaux appellation. He has made Château Penin a benchmark across various appellations, wine types, and vintages. The family estate has grown from 13 hectares in 1854 to 40 hectares today. The production of reds—and particularly the fine cuvées, Les Cailloux and Grande Sélection—takes place on a stony Quaternary terroir, the estate’s most noble. The more common sandy and clay soils are reserved for the production of delicious rosés and clairets. Year after year, the clairet remains “the” benchmark of this appellation. Here you’ll find a wide range of wines at every price point, all focused on fruit, quality tannins, and freshness, including charming and generous whites and rosés, and the famous clairet—as mentioned—with its ever-vibrant fruit, which has built the estate’s reputation. The reds are richly fruity and appealing, notably the ever-vibrant Grande-Sélection cuvée.

About the wine:
One of the appellation's flagship wines. Consistently excellent regardless of the vintage, this clairet is a crowd-pleaser; here again, pure fruit, depth, and length shine through. With a strong Merlot component (90%), this rosé is built around very fresh fruit—cherry and tart red berries—and a structure that is at once full-bodied, rich, and delicate. A complete success, perfect for any season, pairing well with cured meats, ratatouille, or grilled pork chops. 2024–2026
About the estate:
One of the most reliable names in regional appellations, with several Favorites its credit. A 50-hectare vineyard situated on gravelly soil on the left bank of the Dordogne, across from Saint-Émilion. Founded by the Carteyron family in 1855, it has been managed since 1982 by Patrick, an oenologist.

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)
About the estate:
Rated HVE3, this wine is one of the finest examples of Bordeaux and Bordeaux Supérieur. Penin is refining its range by focusing on limestone and gravel soils, while retaining the finesse of a fruit profile that appeals to a wide audience. Under the "Natur'" label, the estate produces a rosé, a clairet, and a red, thereby challenging the conventions of classic Bordeaux.
