“Comfort Claret”

Classic, generous and quietly reassuring, Château des Antonins opens with ripe blackcurrant, plum and dark cherry, layered with notes of cedar, cocoa and a gentle savoury edge. The palate is smooth and medium-bodied, delivering supple dark fruit framed by soft tannins and well-integrated oak. There’s a freshness running through the wine that keeps it lifted and balanced, finishing warm, rounded and very easy to return to.

For when: you want a proper glass of claret without overthinking it.
Pairs with: roast beef, shepherd’s pie, mushroom dishes, or a simple midweek steak.
If this wine were… a well-set dining table on a Sunday afternoon, familiar, comforting, and quietly satisfying.

Château des Antonins is part of the Dubreuil family portfolio, also owners of the esteemed Château Haut-Bergey in Pessac-Léognan. Situated in Bordeaux Supérieur, the estate benefits from gravelly and clay-limestone soils that suit Merlot-led blends, producing wines with softness, approachability and classic Bordeaux character. Careful vineyard management and measured oak ageing bring polish without excess, making Château des Antonins a reliable expression of modern Bordeaux Supérieur, traditional in spirit, generous in style, and built firmly around drinkability.
