long finale

"Made exclusively from grapes grown on the vineyards of Château Haut-Brion and Château La Mission Haut-Brion!"

"Very nice influence of cedar oak, with aromas of fresh blond tobacco and foliage with a core of red and blue fruits. The palate is very mellow, fine and dense with rich, concentrated red plums and berries. Super concentrated, long and elegant. The third selection from the combined estates of Haut-Brion and La Mission Haut-Brion. Exceptional value. Try from 2022." (James Suckling 2019) • Delivery in wooden cases for all orders of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding Point Relais delivery method).

Nose

Typical of its appellation, revealing notes of red fruit, blackcurrant, licorice, black cherry, and toasted bread. There are also some subtle notes of undergrowth.

Mouth

The attack on the palate is supple and elegant, well-rounded, with plenty of freshness. The texture is silky and velvety, with lovely acidity and firm, finely grained tannins. The wine offers a wide range of fruity aromas, as well as toasted notes accompanied by a slight hint of vanilla. The whole is very well-balanced, with a long, flavorful finish dominated by fruit.

About wine:

This is a solid wine with a promising future, produced by a team that makes two of the best wines in Pessac-Léognan. It comes partly from the Haut-Brion vineyard, giving it classic tannins and juicy black fruit. Good acidity rounds out this well-balanced wine. Drink now.
