Château Haut-Brion Pessac-Léognan blanc gcc. 2021 0,75l

Château Haut-Brion Blanc is one of Bordeaux’s rarest dry whites, produced from just under three hectares of vines in Pessac-Léognan. Deep gravel over clay and limestone is planted almost equally with Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Fermentation and long ageing on lees in barrel give great depth and texture. The bouquet combines citrus and ripe stone fruit with exotic nuances, white flowers and a discreet smokiness. On the palate Haut-Brion Blanc is powerful yet razor-sharp, with concentrated, creamy mid-palate, vibrant acidity and a very long, saline, mineral finish that confirms its cult status among white Bordeaux.

Ageing with 44 % new barriques underlines the richness while preserving the fresh, harmonious balance of the white Haut-Brion.

Château Haut-Brion

Long before Bordeaux became a global shorthand for prestige, Château Haut‑Brion in Pessac‑Léognan was already a reference: Jean de Pontac shaped the estate in the 16th century (then known as Château Pontac) and carried its reputation beyond France. In 1855, Haut‑Brion earned Premier Grand Cru Classé status—uniquely for a Graves property—and that distinction still defines its aura....

The grape variety: Sémillon

Sémillon is a classic white grape of Bordeaux and Sauternes, also famous in Australia's Hunter Valley. It offers citrus, wax, honey, texture and ageing potential.

It pairs with shellfish, roast chicken, creamy sauces, mushrooms, soft cheese, foie gras and fruit desserts. A refined white grape for dry and sweet wines. Sémillon
