Clos Floridène, located in the Graves appellation, is an iconic Bordeaux estate founded by Denis and Florence Dubourdieu, known for producing wines of great finesse and remarkable elegance. With vines planted on gravel and clay-limestone soils, Clos Floridène’s terroir benefits from ideal conditions for crafting wines typical of the Graves appellation.
The vineyard is composed of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, and a small percentage of cabernet franc, creating a harmonious balance of power and freshness. Cabernet sauvignon brings structure and complexity, while merlot softens the blend with its roundness and fruitiness. Cabernet franc adds a touch of finesse and aromatic subtlety.
On tasting, Clos Floridène red captivates with its deep and intense color. The nose reveals complex aromas of ripe red and black fruits, accompanied by subtle notes of cedar, spices, and licorice. On the palate, the wine is ample and well-structured, with fine, elegant tannins. Its velvety texture and beautiful persistence reveal a perfect harmony between intensity and finesse, characteristic of great Graves wines.
With excellent aging potential, Clos Floridène will develop beautifully in the cellar, revealing even more refined aromatic complexity over the years. This versatile wine pairs perfectly with red meats, sauced dishes, and aged cheeses, delighting Bordeaux lovers with its unique and authentic character.
