La Clarté Haut Brion
Pessac Leognan - Second Wine
Description
You probably knew this wine under the name of Plantiers du Haut-Brion, which has been modified with the 2009 vintage. Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc (majority) compose it. After being harvested by hand, the grapes were fermented in oak barrels and the wine was aged in the same type of containers for almost a year, with the proportion of new wood approaching 50%.
Suave, almost unctuous, the wine seduces by its aromatic complexity and its beautiful energy.
Wine Advocate : “Aromas of smoke, white fruits and ripe orchard fruits preface the 2023 La Clarté de Haut-Brion blanc, a medium-bodied, round and supple wine that is fruity and elegant on the finish. This is a blend of 56.3% Sauvignon Blanc and 43.7% Sémillon.”
