PARIS, March 4, 2026 – 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.
In addition to delighting guests at the Dolby Theatre® at Ovation Hollywood, Clarendelle and Domaine Clarence Dillon wines will be served at the iconic Governors Ball and the Official Oscars® Watch Party at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. At all events, the elegant and contemporary red, white, and rosé wines will be paired with a legendary menu from Wolfgang Puck Catering.
Domaine Clarence Dillon will introduce a new wine for the star-studded events:
- Le Dragon de Quintus 2020: 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.
Among the returning wine favorites are:
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.
- Clarendelle Bordeaux Red 2017: This blend is a beautiful, bright ruby-red color with very fresh, fruity aromas, accompanied by notes of red fruit, blackcurrant, and cherry.
- Clarendelle Bordeaux White 2023: A refined and elegant wine, offering bright citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit, balanced by the smooth sweetness of pear and lychee.
- Clarendelle Bordeaux Rosé 2023: A gastronomic rosé, a distinctive expression in Bordeaux, with aromas of raspberry and pink grapefruit and vibrant red fruit notes lifted by hints of lychee and mandarin orange.
- Clarendelle Amberwine 2021: A complex, well-concentrated and modern sweet wine distinguished by its freshness and harmonious balance of floral fruit and acidity with a smooth finish.
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.
