Claret

Claret is a type of red wine originating from the Bordeaux region in France, primarily made from Bordeaux grape varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. The term "claret" is commonly used in countries like the UK to describe these wines, which are known for their balance, medium tannins, and fruity flavors. Claret often features notes of plum, blackcurrant, and earth, and can range from lighter, easy-drinking wines to more complex, cellar-worthy options. It pairs well with a variety of foods and is appreciated for its versatility and refined taste profile.
