From Bordeaux to Hollywood

Clarendelle and the family company Domaine Clarence Dillon are proud to return as the official wine partner of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.

For the fourth consecutive year, the prestigious family-owned company will exclusively pour exceptional wines at the 98th Oscars® ceremony, bridging the world of fine wine and film in a partnership that elevates the Oscars® experience for Hollywood’s biggest stars.

Château Quintus takes the stage

This year, a special spotlight will be placed on the wines of Château Quintus. Le Dragon de Quintus 2020 will be served at the Nominees Dinners in the days leading up to the ceremony, as well as in the Winners Lobby, the highly exclusive room where recipients gather immediately after receiving their Oscar®.

The gateway to Château Quintus, Le Dragon de Quintus is crafted from a blend of Saint-Émilion’s finest terroirs. A beautiful dark wine with fruit and vanilla-scented hints mingle with aromas of ripe black fruit. The first taste is supple and silky, with flavors of fruit combined with woody notes, making the wine very charming.

A Blend Worthy of the Spotlight

The Clarendelle family of wines, inspired by Haut-Brion, expresses the authentic character of the Bordeaux terroir through expertly blended, age worthy wines that unite complexity, elegance and balance, elevating everyday life with fine wines.

Much like the Academy Awards®, Clarendelle embodies both heritage and modern expression. Guided by the expertise of the Haut-Brion winemakers, each vintage is blended, cellared, and released only when it reaches its ideal balance, ready to shine on all tables.

In addition to Clarendelle, nominees and winners will have the opportunity to relish backstage at the Oscars®
with La Clarté de Haut-Brion 2021:
A wine of rare delicacy, with fresh citrus and white flower aromas,
followed by a crisp and refreshing finish of lemony brightness.

A long-standing relationship with cinema

Long before gracing the Oscars® red carpet, Domaine Clarence Dillon wines had already secured a distinguished role on the silver screen. From their memorable appearance in Billions showcasing Château Haut-Brion and Château La Mission Haut-Brion, to more recent features in Dexter: Resurrection, the Domaine’s wines continue to embody refinement and prestige in contemporary storytelling. They have since appeared in productions such as Étoile, Millers in marriage, Alto Knights, The Night Agent (Season 2), further reinforcing their natural affinity with the world of cinema.
