2011 Le Clarence de Haut-Brion, Pessac-Léognan

Le Clarence de Haut-Brion, Pessac-Leognan
With most of the classy Cabernets going into the Grand Vin the second wine is 71% Merlot, which explains the lush, plummy juiciness of this wine. There's nothing remotely rustic about this wine, however, with a fine thread of purity running through the core of the wine, elegant tannins and a long finish.

Le Clarence de Haut-Brion, Pessac-Leognan
Rich, spicy, slightly exotic nose, lovely smooth palate, rich yet restrained.

Le Clarence de Haut-Brion, Pessac-Leognan
The 2011 Le Clarence de Haut-Brion is more mineral-based than La Mission’s second wine, La Chapelle. The Clarence de Haut-Brion possesses a deep ruby/purple color along with copious notes of black cherries and black currants intermixed with hints of crushed rocks and wet gravel. It’s easy to tell it is from the Haut-Brion vineyard. Drink it over the next 10-15 years.

Le Clarence de Haut-Brion, Pessac-Leognan
Offers the racy, taut edge of the vintage, but shows slightly better flesh than its La Chapelle counterpart. In the end, this offers a nice briary edge to its range of red and blue fruits, with a lively iron note on the finish.
