La Clarté de Haut-Brion 2017, the second white wine of Haut-Brion and La Mission Haut-Brion, comes from Pessac-Léognan’s gravelly terroirs. This dry white, a blend of Sémillon (69%) and Sauvignon Blanc (31%), reveals a pale yellow color and aromas of peach and citrus. Broad and mineral, it pairs with seafood and can be cellared through 2038; serve between 16 and 18°C.
Nestled in the heart of Pessac-Léognan, this legendary estate has embodied Bordeaux excellence since the 16th century, combining family heritage with timeless expertise.
- Terroir : Deep gravel beds and gravelly soils, shaped by the oceanic climate, give the wines distinctive minerality and refined elegance.
- Winemaking : Precise blends, aged in barrels to harmonize fresh fruit with structural complexity.
