Le Clarence de Haut Brion, Pessac-Leognan 2008
Le Clarence de Haut Brion, Pessac-Leognan 2008 The second wine of Chateau Haut Brion is consistently very good. Made from First Growth fruit and assembled from the vats that don't suit the final blend of Haut Brion itself. From 2007 onwards it will be known as Le Clarence de Haut-Brion (instead of Bahans), in tribute to Clarence Dillon who purchased Haut Brion in 1934. It will, for the first time, be bottled in the iconic and distinctive Haut Brion bottle. 45% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc.Wonderful sweet tobacco and berry aromas follow through to a full body, with big, juicy tannins and a chewy finish. A little tough, but shows concentration for a second wine." Score: 88-91 James Suckling, WineSpectator.com
