Château Haut-Brion Pessac Léognan La Clarté de Haut-Brion 2016

Succulent and structured, rich and powerful, layered with yuzu, salted lemon rind, sage and steel. 40% new oak for ageing, this is a Clarté to look out for. In 2016 much of the Sémillon that usually would go in the 1st wines (drawn from both Haut-Brion Blanc and La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc vines) was used here. Exceptional quality, perfect moment to drink. One of the wines of the night, overperforming expectations and utterly knockout.
