Clarendelle & Domaine Clarence Dillon Return as Official Wine Partner of the Academy Awards, Academy Museum, and 97th Oscars Ceremony

Clarendelle and Domaine Clarence Dillon return as the official wine partners for the 97th Oscars, Governors Ball, and Academy Museum.

Hollywood’s most glamorous night deserves a wine worthy of its gold.

For the third consecutive year, Clarendelle and Domaine Clarence Dillon — the prestigious family-owned Bordeaux wine house — return as the official wine partner of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, pouring exclusive selections at the 97th Oscars® ceremony, the Governors Ball, and the Official Oscars® Watch Party.

A Toast to Hollywood’s Finest

Each year, the Oscars celebrate cinematic excellence — and fine wine has become an integral part of that experience.

From the Dolby® Theatre at Ovation Hollywood to the Governors Ball, the wines of Clarendelle and Domaine Clarence Dillon elevate every toast, blending French craftsmanship with Hollywood glamour.

During the Oscars season, thousands of glasses are poured across official Academy events. At the 90th Academy Awards, for instance, guests enjoyed more than 2,400 bottles of wine — nearly 14,000 glasses shared among winners, nominees, and film luminaries.

“Before joining the family business, I began my career as a screenwriter, so to partner with the Oscars for the third consecutive year is truly an honor,”

Prince Robert of Luxembourg,

President and CEO of Domaine Clarence Dillon.

“This collaboration is a natural extension of my family’s longstanding commitment and deep connection to film and the arts.”

A Pairing of Prestige: The Wines of the 97th Oscars

At this year’s events, guests will enjoy a curated collection of newly introduced vintages and Oscar favorites, each crafted with the precision and artistry that define the House of Clarence Dillon.

New for 2025:

• La Clarté de Haut-Brion 2021
  A rare and refined white wine, limited to just 1,000 cases annually. Fresh citrus and white flowers give way to a crisp, lemony finish — a modern reflection of Bordeaux elegance.

• Le Clarence de Haut-Brion 2015
  A powerful yet graceful red, echoing the legendary Château Haut-Brion. Notes of ripe fruit, spice, and velvety tannins deliver the essence of a world-class Bordeaux.

Returning Favorites:

• Clarendelle Bordeaux White 2023 – Bright citrus, pear, and lychee notes balanced by a smooth, elegant texture.

• Clarendelle Bordeaux Red 2016 – Lush aromas of red berries and blackcurrant complemented by floral undertones and fine tannins.

• Clarendelle Amberwine 2021 – A modern sweet wine, harmoniously balanced with floral fruit and acidity for a long, smooth finish.

These wines will be paired with a gastronomic menu crafted by Wolfgang Puck Catering, designed to complement the artistry of each vintage and enhance the sensory experience of the evening.
