Le Clarence de Haut-Brion Pessac-Léognan rouge 2020 0,75l

Le Clarence de Haut-Brion is the second wine of the legendary Château Haut-Brion in Pessac-Léognan. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot are aged in oak barrels to create a wine of notable depth. The bouquet shows dark berries, violets, graphite, damp earth and a touch of truffle. On the palate it is powerful, muscular and finely etched, with focused, persistent tannins. Energetic acidity keeps the rich fruit in balance and drives a long, complex finish. A serious second wine that shines alongside roast beef, game dishes or refined haute cuisine. Patience in the cellar will be rewarded with even greater complexity.

On the gravelly ridges of Pessac-Léognan, Le Clarence de Haut-Brion speaks in the quieter register of a legendary estate. Renamed with the 2007 vintage in tribute to Clarence Dillon—who took the reins in 1935—it draws on the same hillside of quartz pebbles over clay-laced subsoils, just outside Bordeaux....
