Description

A legend of Pessac-Léognan and the entire Bordeaux region, Château Haut-Brion create am extremely elegant white wine made for ageing from Sémillon (the majority) and Sauvignon Blanc grown according to sustainable methods. These varieties blossom on two gravelly knolls and, in the cellar, their grapes are fermented and aged in oak barrels.

The latter process can take anywhere from nine months to a year with half the wine spending this time in new containers. Its rarity is due to the fact that it comes from only four hectares of vines.

“James Suckling” : The Haut Brion is open and very pretty, with sliced lemon, pear and white-peach character, as well as a hint of lemon grass. It’s full and layered with structure and focus. Crunchy finish. Fine phenolics and vibrant fruit for the vintage. 58.1% sauvignon blanc and 41.9% semillon.
