“Bordeaux Claret under a tenner — don’t expect magic, but expect decent drinking. Dark fruit, some structure, perfectly serviceable with a weeknight steak.”

About this wine

A Classic Bordeaux with a Touch of Elegance

Dulong Bordeaux Rouge Claret offers a refined, accessible introduction to the world of Bordeaux wines. With its smooth structure and inviting fruit-forward character, this Claret beautifully showcases the classic style of Bordeaux reds, making it perfect for everyday enjoyment or casual gatherings.

It presents a delightful bouquet of ripe red fruits such as cherries and blackberries, with subtle hints of plum and a gentle, earthy undertone. On the palate, it's soft and well-rounded, with smooth tannins and a touch of spice that adds depth and warmth, balanced by refreshing acidity and a clean, medium-length finish.

Best enjoyed at room temperature and pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, roast chicken, charcuterie, or mild cheeses. Produced by the Dulong family, who have been crafting wines in Bordeaux for generations, this Claret reflects the expertise and passion behind each bottle.

About the producer

Dulong Frères et Fils has been one of Bordeaux's leading négociants since its founding by Eugène Dulong in 1873 in Floirac, on the outskirts of the city. Now in its fifth generation of family ownership, Dulong broke with Bordeaux tradition in 2000 by building its own winemaking complex and sourcing grapes directly from growers across all Bordeaux appellations. Today the house ranks among the region's ten largest négociants, celebrated for consistent quality and exceptional value.
