Château La Clotte

Château La Clotte is a 10-acre estate in St.-Emilion and it is owned by the Vauthiers, who also own nearby Château Ausone. Alain Vauthier and his daughter Pauline purchased Château La Clotte in 2014, buying it from a family who had owned the tiny estate for more than a century. Château La Clotte is a Grand Cru Classé of the St.-Emilion appellation. The wine is typically 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Château La Clotte traces its history to the 16th century and in the 1990s the estate came under the management of three cousins, all women, whose family owned the estate for more than a century. The women continue to run the estate under the direction of the Vauthiers. Some 15,000 bottles are produced annually and there is no second label. Robert M. Parker Jr. has called La Clotte an “up-and-coming estate…quietly making its way toward the higher echelons of the St.-Emilion hierarchy…” Parker rated a recent vintage at 95+ points.
