LA CLARTE DE HAUT BRION - Blanc 2018
Château Haut-Brion is located in Pessac-Léognan in the Bordeaux wine region. It is notable as being the only First Growth in Graves. The vineyards were established in the 1530s by the Pontac family, changing hands several times throughout the ensuing centuries. Historical evidence shows that Haut-Brion was drunk by King Charles II and Thomas Jefferson, and the famous London diarist Samuel Pepys was also a fan of the wine. The estate was acquired by American Francophile Clarence Dillon in 1935 and has been managed by the family since.
This Second white wine is common to Château Haut-Brion and La Mission Haut-Brion. It comes from the blending of the second wines of the two properties. The 2018 vintage is a blend of Sémillon (79.2%) and Sauvignon Blanc (20.8%). The grape varieties were harvested at maturity, and their sanitary condition was perfect.
