Chateau Haut-Brion 2012

2012 Pessac-Leognan Blanc, Cru Classé from Bordeaux.

The nose and palate of this Pessac-Leognan Blanc are contrasted. The aromas released are a sign of a very fresh wine. Citrus fruit notes prevail and pink grapefruit hints take over the senses. A bold 2012 Haut-Brion white wine is expected. The attack is unctuous; the wine is full-bodied and very strong. The vibrancy, at first restrained, is felt again on the palate to stretch this Cru Classé de Graves on a good length. The 2012 Haut-Brion is a great vintage wine.
