Les Plantiers du Haut-Brion 1990, the second wine of domaines Haut-Brion and La Mission Haut-Brion, reflects the gravelly soils of Pessac-Léognan. A dry white with citrus and white flower notes, it charms with its vibrant freshness and minerality. Ideal with seafood or fish.
A noble Bordeaux estate rooted in history since 1521, Haut-Brion embodies the excellence of Pessac-Léognan wines, combining family tradition with viticultural precision.
- Terroir: Deep gravels and gravelly soils of the Pessac-Léognan appellation, imparting a distinctive minerality and structured elegance to the wines.
- Vinification: Rigorous methods, barrel ageing for a pure expression of the grape variety and a silky aromatic complexity.

In the glass: A golden robe with amber highlights, dense and luminous in texture, revealing a harmonious maturity.
On the nose: Aromas of candied lemon, acacia blossom and summer honey, underscored by a saline note and a hint of flint, evoking the minerality of the gravels.
On the palate: A lively and precise attack, supported by taut acidity and a silky texture, giving way to a long, chalky finish marked by a persistent salinity.
Serve between 10 and 12°C in a Bordeaux-style white wine glass to reveal its full purity.
