Château Brown Pessac Léognan 2019
The smooth, silky tannins of Pessac-Léognan, well handled to accentuate the damson and black cherry fruits, set against pencil lead and slate. Another successful vintage at this property, owned by Jean-Christophe Mau. I chose it as one of my top 30 2018s to open now, and equally here you have a wine that will be ready within a few years, although the acidities are a little more pronounced than in 2018. 45% new oak, 42hl/ha yield. Harvest September 25 to October 14. An upscore from En Primeur.
