La Clarté de Haut Brion Pessac Léognan – Pessac Leognan Blanc – White – 2016:

 

La Clarté de Haut-Brion: The Pinnacle of White Pessac-Léognan

Clarté Haut-Brion, the prestigious white second wine from both Château Haut-Brion and Château La Mission Haut-Brion, offers a taste of the Grand Vin’s excellence at a more approachable stage. This Sémillon-led blend is a benchmark for complex, age-worthy dry white Bordeaux, combining richness with a signature mineral tension. It’s an investment in pure, refined luxury.

Tasting Notes (Sommelier Profile)

Expect a rich, concentrated bouquet of nectarine, lime leaves, white peach, and smoky flint. The palate is medium to full-bodied, delivering a silky texture and a substantial core of fruit that is expertly offset by vibrant, lemony acidity. Its compelling structure and saline, chalky finish ensure it will evolve beautifully in the cellar.
