Pessac-Léognan
See Pessac-Léognan producers See a list of Pessac-Léognan wines
In 1986 a new communal district was created within Graves, based on the districts of Pessac and Léognan, the first of which lies within the suburbs of the city. Essentially this came about through pressure from Pessac-Léognan vignerons who wished to disassociate themselves from growers with predominately sandy soils further south in Graves.
Pessac-Léognan has the best soils of the region, very similar to those of the Médoc, although the depth of gravel is more variable, and contains all the classed growths of the region. Some of its great names, including Ch. Haut-Brion, even sit serenely and resolutely in Bordeaux's southern urban sprawl.
The climate is milder than to the north of the city and the harvest can occur up to two weeks earlier. This gives the best wines a heady, rich and almost savoury character, laced with notes of tobacco, spice and leather. Further south, the soil is sandier with more clay, and the wines are lighter, fruity and suitable for earlier drinking.

Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for delivery. 'Spellbinding' was how we described this wine when tasting the 2008 en primeur. Masses of juicy grapefruit dominates the nose whilst complex layers of lush guava notes even out towards ripe Galia melon on the palate. The scent of fresh vanilla binds this wine together whilst a refreshing lick of ... MORE Drink 2010-2014 . BBR Score: 16.5/20 Jancis Score: 16.5/20 | ||||

2006 and 2007 were really successful for this style of wine, and it provides a real alternative to better-touted dry whites such as Loire or Burgundy. Made from the classic Bordeaux white blend of Semillon and Sauvignon, it is very dry and mineral, so not quite so successful with sauced fish ... MORE | ||||

I love this stylish Claret from what was a very successful vintage for Ch.
Haut-Bailly. Refined, with supple, ripe cassis on the palate, fine tannins and
excellent balancing acidity, Haut-Bailly's star is on the rise, and this is a
wonderful chance to see what all the fuss is about at a very ...

Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for delivery. Made in an ethereal, lighter style than usual, the 2008 Les Carmes Haut-Brion offers up notes of menthol, unsmoked cigar tobacco, and sweet red and black currants. Medium-bodied, pure, delicate, and full of charm, it only lacks the texture and depth one expects in the best vintages like 2008. ... MORE Drink 2009-2023 . Parker Score: 88 - 90/100 | ||||

Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for delivery. Domaine de Chevalier always seems to know how to please. The 2008 has a fantastic, opulent nose of liquid blackcurrants and a concentrated, intense palate of dark cassis fruit but with that lovely freshness indicative of the vintage. This is a wine with plenty of flesh on its bones, but one ... MORE Drink 2012-2025 . BBR Score: 16/20 Jancis Score: 17/20 Parker Score: 92 - 94/100 Wine Spectator Score: 90 - 93/100 | ||||
