2013 Chateau La Mission Haut-Brion

Frankrig / Bordeaux / Pessac-Leognan Blanc

The nose of the white Château la Mission Haut-Brion 2013 is enormously complex, showing subtle hints of white flowers, pineapple, lemon, and very ripe, juicy white peaches. The wine starts out with considerable acidity and is almost tangy. This freshness gives the wine a linear structure that opens up to become much bigger and more voluptuous. The weather conditions throughout the growing season led to a small crop, but modern winemaking techniques and close, expert attention guaranteed the quality of the wines.

Blend:
76 % Sémillon, 24 % Sauvignon Blanc.
