Le Fou du Roy
Bordeaux Claret
Le Fou du Roy
Claret is pronounced in the English style and dates back to the Middle Ages. From that time onward, Bordeaux wines were exported to England, and the term “Claret” was used to describe light, pale red wines that were highly appreciated by the English. True to its original style and enhanced by modern techniques, Claret today embodies the union of history and renewal: a fresh, fruity, accessible, and utterly delightful red wine.
