ABOUT PESSAC LEOGNAN APPELLATION 
In 1986 a new communal district was created within Graves, based on the districts of Pessac and Léognan. Pessac-Léognan has the best soils of the region, very similar to those of the Médoc, although the depth of gravel is more variable, and contains all the classed growths of the region. Some of its great names include Chateau Haut-Brion, Carmes Haut Brion, Domain de Chevalier and Pape Clement all located in Bordeaux's southern urban landscape a short distance from the city centre.

TASTING NOTES
The wine reveals a deep garnet color with subtle violet highlights. Its brightness and density reflect both concentration and vibrant youth. The nose opens with intensity and precision on ripe black fruit aromas – chiefly blackcurrant and blackberry – supported by an elegant backbone of cedar, graphite, and sweet spices. A finely integrated oak note adds further complexity. The palate is full and fresh, with a silky texture and delicately melded tannins. The structure is harmonious, underpinned by lovely tension and remarkable depth. The long, lingering finish continues the pleasure with notes of black fruit, cocoa bean, and a slightly smoky signature, typical of the great reds of Pessac Léognan.

AGEING
Can be enjoyed young, but will develop greater complexity the wine is drinking well now and will keep until 2040.

BLEND
60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot.
